Pak troops kill 10 militants in Balochistan

At least 10 militants were killed today in a targeted operation by Pakistani security forces in a remote region of southwestern Balochistan province, officials said.
The paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) conducted operations in the Dera Bugti district where 30 militants were killed in a similar operation on Thursday.
An FC spokesman said that the troops attacked the rebels after confirmed reports that they were hiding in the area.
"Ten militants were killed in the Gandyari area. They were members of banned Balochistan Republican Army or BRA," he said.
BRA is involved in attacks at the security forces and activities of sabotage like bombings at the railway and blowing up the pipeline and power transmission pylons.

Nationalist Baloch allege that the federal government was depriving the province of their resources, a charge denied by the government.
