An agent working for the National Directorate of Security (NDS), Afghanistan's premier spy agency, was arrested from Chaman district in Balochistan today.
A Frontier Corps (FC) spokesman said the personnel conducted a raid on a compound in Boghra, a residential and commercial area in Chaman, and picked up an agent working for the NDS, reports Dawn.
The spokesman said the 'spy' was supplying weapons and explosive materials for terrorist activities inside Balochistan.
Explosive materials, primacords, detonators, bombs and fuses were also recovered from the agent's possession.
Intelligence agencies are interrogating the agent, he added.
The arrest comes just weeks after the forces arrested Kulbushan Jadhav, an Indian agent from Balochistan, who Pakistan said was involved in "terror activities" in the province.
