Quetta incident failure of law enforcement agencies, says Zulfiqar Magsi

Balochistan Governor Zulfiqar Ali Magsi has called the Quetta incident a collapse of the security system of government and its intelligence agencies.
Talking to media persons on Sunday, Zulfiqar Maqsi said that despite tall claims of the federal government and law enforcement agencies terrorism continue to haunt Quetta and other parts of the province which was a matter of grave concern.
“We are making our all out efforts to maintain peace and law-enforcement agencies have been given a free hand, but not tracking down the culprits despite all recourses is obviously their failure,” he added.
It should be mentioned that at least 84 people mostly belonging to Hazara community were killed and at least 176 injured when a suicide bomber rammed an explosive-laded water tanker in a packed bazaar at Hazara Town on Saturday.
Governor Balochistan had also visited Combined Military Hospital (CMH) to enquire after the injured and ordered shifting of critical ones to Karachi.
It is worth mentioning here that Governor’s rule was imposed after death of 100 people in three consecutive blasts in Quetta.
