A motorway police officer, who was injured in the suicide attack at the Frontier Corps Help Centre in Quetta on Thursday, succumbed to his wounds on Friday.
According to motorway police spokesperson Waheed, Assistant Patrol Officer Mohammad Idrees was on duty at the main gate of FC office when suicide bombers tried to enter the premises.
Idrees was at the FC office as the office of motorway police west zone is situated in the same boundary.
Five suicide bombers tried to enter the FC office in a vehicle loaded with explosives and ammunition, according to Inter-Services Public Relations. However, security personnel opened fire on the terrorists, killing all of them. As per a statement issued by ISPR, the attempt was in response to the killing of a key terrorist a day earlier in Killi Almas.
The area where the attack took place is mostly residential, with a few government buildings also located in the vicinity.
