A very scary face of terrorism has emerged in Pakistan’s troubled province of Balochistan. There has been a sensation in the entire area after the bodies of six innocent laborers who were kidnapped a few days ago were recovered in Kech district near Turbat. Security forces have blamed the banned terrorist organization Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) for this heinous massacre. After this bloody game, an atmosphere of great panic has arisen among other workers working in the area and people associated with development projects.
What is the whole matter and how was the incident carried out?
According to security sources, this bloody sequence started on July 27 from Klatuk area of Kech district. A group of heavily armed terrorists forcefully stopped the convoy of laborers engaged in development work. During this time, the terrorists shot dead a laborer named Javed, a resident of Swabi district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, on the spot. After this, the terrorists forcibly abducted six other laborers and took them to an unknown destination. After several days of search, the bodies of all these six hostage laborers were finally recovered from an isolated and remote area of Turbat. Looking at the serious condition of the dead bodies, it is clear that the terrorists had killed them very brutally. Security officials have confirmed that the killed workers included four from Punjab province and two from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, who were working on various development projects in Balochistan.
Dangerous change in BLA’s strategy, targeting Chinese projects
According to reports quoting intelligence and security agencies, this attack is being seen as a major and dangerous change in the operational strategy of the Baloch Liberation Army. In the past, this organization mainly targeted Pakistani security forces and military posts, but now it has changed its strategy and has started targeting laborers, engineers, contractors and even local citizens working in projects related to Chinese investment, mining operations and mineral development. The main objective of the organization is to completely stall these economic and infrastructural projects and create deep fear in the minds of every person working in the sector.
Direct warning to local and foreign laborers
Terrorist organization BLA has made it clear in its threats that people working around any project, mine or mineral site being run in collaboration with China should immediately leave those places. This open warning has been issued not only for the laborers coming from other provinces to earn their livelihood, but also for the local laborers, engineers, officials and contractors associated with Pakistani and Chinese development projects. Experts believe that through these planned attacks, terrorists want to disrupt the ongoing economic activities in Balochistan as well as draw the attention of the international community.
Such horrifying incidents have come to light before as well.
This incident of disturbance is not the first or the only incident. According to security sources, at least five more workers lost their lives in another attack in Mashkel area just before this incident. These repeated incidents indicate that a well-planned pattern of violence is being carried out by terrorists in different parts of Balochistan. A few weeks ago, BLA had also claimed responsibility for a major attack in Mastung district, in which dozens of Pakistani soldiers were claimed to have been killed. However, after these latest murders, the safety of workers working in Balochistan has once again become the biggest question.
