The Federal Security Force (FSF) was a paramilitary and secret police force in Pakistan from 1972 to 1977. The FSF was established by then-President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto as a task force of the Government of Pakistan as a substitute for the use of the Pakistan Armed Forces in civilian affairs. It was mainly to serve as protection for civil leadership such as the Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition, and assisting the government and police in maintaining law and order.[1] The FSF was disbanded by Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq after Bhutto was overthrown in Operation Fair Play.
