The Federal Security Force (FSF) was a paramilitary/secret police force created by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, while he was the President of Pakistan. Established in 1972, created as a civil task force of the federal government, this was used as a substitute to the use of army personnel in day to day issues of civilian life, ostensibly to assist the civil administration and the police in the maintenance of law and order without requiring the intervention of the military.[1]
The FSF was disbanded by General Zia-ul Haq after he, in 1977, overthrew the Bhutto government in a military de'eat coup.
