BLA’s terrorist activities in Balochistan
It is worth noting that earlier this year in January, a staff member named Qaiser of the construction company PTA, owned by Sardar Mukhtar Abbasi, a prominent political figure of Azad Kashmir and Chief Organizer of Pakistan Peoples’ Party, was also killed by the banned Baloch Liberation Army, while his two companions were released after 77 days of captivity for a heavy ransom.
These three employees were abducted from a construction site in Balochistan on October 13, 2024. However, 13 months later, the staff of the same company has been targeted again.
The banned Baloch Liberation Army targets those working in construction sector in Balochistan, especially labourers from outside the province, particularly from Punjab.
