QUETTA Inspector General Police Balochistan Syed Javed Ali Shah Bukhari on Thursday said that the police had no capacity to guard every Nato tanker passing through the province. 

In an exclusive interview with DawnNews, the Balochistan Police Chief stated that in most cases criminals with the support of companies set ablaze Nato tankers and containers.

When asked about the presence of the Afghan Talibans shura in Quetta, Javed Bukhari said such reports were baseless and far from reality.

Responding to a question about Jundullah, he said some Jundullah fighters were arrested and handed over to Iran by the government. He however said that the police was in close contact with Iranian officials in order to strictly guard the border. — DawnNews
