QUETTA
The venue for the October 25 Pakistan Democratic Movement rally in Quetta has been changed in the wake of security threats, media report says. The rally will now be held at the Ayub Stadium, according to Balochistan government spokesperson Liaquat Shahwani. There will be heavy security presence at the stadium, he added. A threat alert was issued for Quetta and Peshawar by the National Counter Terrorism Authority on Thursday warning that the Pakistan Taliban could target “high-profile political personalities through a well-articulated bomb blast/suicide bombing”.
Shahwani said foolproof security will be provided. PDM leaders have decided to hold the rally as scheduled at the stadium.
