Heavily Armed Militants Storm Pakistan’s China-Operated Gwadar Port, 7 Dead
20th March 2024
A rare terror attack has unfolded at Pakistan’s strategic port city of Gwadar on Wednesday, which is crucial to the multi-billion dollar China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). A group of heavily armed militants stormed the complex and engaged in a lengthy firefight with security forces.
Pakistan authorities identified the attackers as Baloch separatists, which had also been armed with bombs. At least seven of the militants were shot dead by security forces. The port has for more than the past decade been run by the China Overseas Port Holding Company.
The Partition between India and Pakistan, hiving off most of the worst Muslims into separate countries where they could carry on killing each other, was one of the best things that ever happened to India.
