The critical injured were flown to Multan CMH. It was the fourth landmine explosion in Balochistan in the past 24 hours.

BPLF (Baloch Peoples Liberation Front) claimed responsibility for this attack. The message claimed that these attacks are being carried out by the BPLF against Punjabi Pakistan, in retaliation to. 

• Depriving the Baloch people of their basic human and civil rights.
• Exploitation and looting of Baloch natural wealth.
• Dominating and destroying Baloch heritage and culture.
• The heavy-handed policy against Baloch people.
• Killing and persecuting of Baloch nationalists.
• Building of army cantonments in Balochistan.
• Divide and rule policy by flaring tribal disputes.

It is worth mentioning that BPLF had been an active member of the Baloch resistance during the 70’s when Balochistan was in the midst of an army operation by Punjabi Pakistan, during those times tens of thousands of Baloch men, women and children were murdered, raped and made homeless.

The Punjabi army branded innocent Baloch people as traitors, burnt their houses threw the men into jails from where many never returned, leaving women and children without any food or shelter. Many perished, thousands were forced out of their homeland and had to migrate to Afghanistan for a safe haven. But the Punjabi thirst for Baloch blood did not quench even then.

Punjabi army till this day is in pursuit of Baloch nationalists, branding them as bandits, thieves, foreign agents, capturing and ruthlessly killing them. Baloch Nationalists whose only crime is their love for their motherland, and their resolve not to compromise their national interest under any circumstances. To stand up and fight for their national and political interests.

Since mid 90s Punjabi Pakistan’s hunger for Baloch land and Baloch natural resources have intensified and thus once again the Punjabi Pakistan has decided to crush any opposition which stands in the way of their evil plans. In the midst of such uncertainty and desperation the Baloch nation looks forward to such organisations as BPLF and BLA for hope, whose prominence is growing among the people of Balochistan. They are proving themselves to be the real saviours of Baloch land, natural resources, identity and history. 28.1.04

While it is no secret to any one in Balochistan that Baloch liberation army BLA an organization fighting for the rights of Baloch people and continuously accepting responsibility for such attacks and vows that they will not stop until they rid Balochistan from Punjabi oligarchy and its army domination. And until they achieve independence and equality for the Baloch people.

BBC, Voice of America and other reliable sources have received phone calls from BLA and accepted the responsibility for such attacks, even the DIG police Balochistan has accepted in an interview with BBC that he has frequently received calls from BLA claming responsibility for rocket, bomb and other attacks on military targets. Once Jam Yousaf CM of Balochistan himself said that the secret agencies had warned him that his life was in danger from BLA.

Though officially the Punjabi stooges in power deny of any such organization in Balochistan. It matters not if officially the government accepts of any such organization or not.
