An attack on Chinese engineers in southwestern Pakistan was thwarted by the military, leaving two militants dead and the Chinese workers unharmed, police say
Chakar Baloch, the police superintendent for the district of Gwadar, where the attack took place, told CNN that a clearance operation is underway after clashes between police and militants went on for two hours. Two security personnel were injured. In a statement to CNN, the Baloch Liberation Army, a militant separatist group, claimed responsibility for the attack.
Bordering Afghanistan and Iran, Balochistan is Pakistan’s largest but least populated province. It is fundamental to the country’s massive multibillion-dollar infrastructure deal with Beijing, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor . China is a close partner of Pakistan and its biggest source of military and economic support. But in recent years terrorist attacks targeting Chinese nationals and their interests in Pakistan have alarmed Beijing.
