ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s military says security forces have killed three insurgents who were involved in the recent killing of a senior government administrator in the country’s restive southwest. Tuesday’s raid was conducted in Mastung, a district in Baluchistan province where members of the Baluch Liberation Army group ambushed a vehicle carrying regional Deputy Commissioner Zakir Baloch and killed him last week. The military said the slain men were members of the Baluch Liberation Army, which claimed responsibility for the attack on Baloch ahead of the country’s Independence Day. Baluchistan has been the scene of frequent militant attacks in a long-running insurgency by groups seeking independence for the mineral- and gas-rich province.
