Four terrorists, including the suicide bomber, were killed in counter- operations in Noshki district of the province, local media reports said.
A suicide attacker rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into a convoy of paramilitary Frontier Corp (FC) on the Nushki-Dalbandin National Highway, chief of the local police station Zafarullah Sumalani said adding that the initial investigations suggested that it was a suicide attack.
