Pakistani authorities say militants overran a remote
security outpost in southwestern Baluchistan province, killing six members of
the paramilitary forces, Fox News reported.
The Pakistani Taliban — known as Tehreek-e-Taliban
Pakistan — claimed responsibility for the attack in Ziarat district early on
Wednesday morning, saying in an Urdu-language statement that it was revenge for
the deaths earlier of their comrades at the hands of the paramilitary
Baluchistan Levies Force.
Qadir Baksh Pirkani, Ziarat district deputy
commissioner, said the assault began in the early morning hours and that an
investigation into the killing is underway.
