Days after Balochistan was marred by terrorism, the United States Department of Defence “strongly condemned” the series of terrorist attacks in the province that resulted in the tragic loss of lives, including those of civilians and security personnel.
Commenting on the heinous attacks in the country’s southwestern province, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said: “We strongly condemn any terrorist attack like that and of course our thoughts are with those who lost their lives during that attack.”
When questioned about Washington’s support to Islamabad in fighting against such terror groups in the province, the Pentagon official said she not aware of any current US involvement or assistance to Pakistan in this matter.
“But if that changes, I can certainly let you know,” she added, addressing a press briefing at the Pentagon on Thursday. Singh’s statement comes in the wake of the recent bloodshed in Balochistan where over 50 people were martyred in different terrorist attacks.
In response to the series of horrific attacks, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif visited the provincial capital on Thursday and vowed to completely eradicate terrorism from the province at all costs, saying the “blood of martyrs will not go in vain”.
