Terrorists storm police training college in Quetta

Three terrorists stormed a police training college in Quetta Monday night, prompting an operation by military and Frontier Constabulary forces to clear the premises which houses at least 600 police cadets.

At least 59 people were killed in the attack.

Cadets were rescued from the college following an operation carried out by Special Services Group (SSG) commandos.

The training college is situated on Sariab Road, which is considered to be one of the most sensitive areas of Quetta. Militants have been targeting security forces in the area for almost a decade.
