Pakistani police and military forces had killed more than 100 “Indian-backed terrorists” in counter-terrorism operations across the restive south-western province of Balochistan over the past 40 hours, government officials said on Sunday.

The news came a day after co-ordinated suicide and gun attacks killed 33 people, mostly civilians.
