Fight against terrorism is a dirty job but someone has to do it!
Terrorists don’t follow any rules of engagement, respect no laws, spare no lives, thrive on violence & death.
Let me explain how baloch sub-nationalist terrorist orgs recruit in an ingenious way.

Let me explain how baloch sub-nationalist terrorist orgs recruit in an ingenious way.

Anti terrorism operations in Balochistan tend to be complicated affairs due to the duplicitous nature of anti state terrorism that; on the one hand takes a openly violent, evil & criminal shape, while portraying a benign, human rights & political activism face to the public.

Here, I’ll explain how both these efforts of violent terrorism & human rights activism are being used by one & same anti-state campaign network to promote Baloch separatism in Pakistan & misguide innocent baloch youth towards anti state terrorism benefiting foreign powers.

To set the record straight BLA & various BLA factions known as BRA, UBA, BLF, BRG, Lashkare Balochistan are not political or human rights organizations but internationally recognized as a Specially Designated Global Terrorists as per US State Dept.

US ThinkTank The Jamestown Foundation has recently acknowledged how BSO-Azad is operating as part of an alliance with BLA & various BLA factions BRA, BLF, UBA, BRT, LEB, carrying out terrorist attacks in Pakistan.
BSO-Azad is also a banned terror organization as per NACTA.

After BSO-Azad was banned by NACTA as a terrorist group its rank & file registered the org with a new name called Baloch Students Action Committee
BSAC continues to maintain presence at various Pakistani campuses to publicly conduct the agenda of banned underground BSO-Azad.

Now let me explain, the modus operandi of this terror network:
-Emotional/criminal minded students among Baloch youngsters at Pakistani campuses are preyed upon by BSAC/BSO-Azad operatives, masquerading as activists/NGO members & sent to BLA camps for training in terrorism.

-Emotional/criminal minded students among Baloch youngsters at Pakistani campuses are preyed upon by BSAC/BSO-Azad operatives, masquerading as activists/NGO members & sent to BLA camps for training in terrorism.

After training in weapons handling, sniper targeting, ambush tactics, IED planting & audio/video/online dissemination of terrorist propaganda, these students are returned to society as sleeper cells to establish a public profile as student/political/human rights activists.
/8

Then duties of these committed BLA terror operatives are divided in 3-6month periods b/w:
Engaging in student/political/rights activism to recruit more Baloch youngsters
&
Engaging in ‘Sarmachari’ by joining designated terror cells in the mountains to conduct terror attacks.

Engaging in student/political/rights activism to recruit more Baloch youngsters
&
Engaging in ‘Sarmachari’ by joining designated terror cells in the mountains to conduct terror attacks.
/9
This is primarily done due to the fact that spending time at weeks/months on end in the mountains, with limited supplies & bearing the harsh environment is not easy.
Plus with engaging in public activism, it provides a clever cover to their clandestine terrorist activities.

They’re invited to speak at student events by BSAC, BSC, Baloch Yakjehti Committee all serving as propaganda arms of BLA at univ in Turbat, Quetta, Karachi, Islamabad to spread separatist propaganda & seek recruits while alternatively taking part in terror attack for BLA.

Now, let me provide you with a few case examples of how this network operates:
1st case is of Aftab Yousaf Baloch aka Aftab Jattak.
A student at Govt College Univ Lahore & Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi
He got involved with BSC-Islamabad a sister org of BSAC.

By 2021, Aftab Jattak had become a known face among student/political/human rights activism circle of Balochistan.
He was participating in public events, giving lectures at universities, making speeches & had an active online presence with Twitter handle of @Aftab__baloch.

Not only had become Vice Chairman of BSC Islamabad but a leader of Zehri Online Volunteers-grassroots social activists group at his hometown of Khuzdar Balochistan, as well as a patron, benefactor & part of the management at the Zehri Public Library in Khuzdar Balochistan.
/14
/14
Aftab used his public profile to disseminate the anti state propaganda of BLA, portraying Baloch ethnicity as a victim of so called discrimination by evil govts of Pakistan.
While maintaining public speaking engagements as late as 21st Feb 2021 by holding “Study Circles.”

Ironically, he also used this prominent public profile of a student/political/human rights activist to condemn the JTI-student wing of Jamat-e-Islami for being a “militant group” involved in violence against academic & social activities of student organizations at campuses.
/16
/16
Even in Feb2020, when BMC student leader Mahrang Baloch the underground ex Chairperson of BSO-Azad under code name Murwarid Baloch & daughter of BLA commander Abdul Ghaffar Langove held a dharna in Islamabad, Aftab Jattak also joined this protest on behalf of BSC-Islamabad.
/17
/17
On 16th Feb2021, when Mama Qadeer’s VBMP org held a protest sitin at Islamabad’s D-Chowk to demand release of Baloch missing persons linked to BLA, Aftab Jattak had also joined the protestors demanding intl human rights NGOs to pressure the govt to recover missing activists.
/18
/18
Finally his cover of being a student/political/human rights activist got blown on 31stMay2021 when he was exposed for being part of a highly violent BLA terror attack at Awais Camp of Ghaza Band Scouts in Bolan resulting in 12 casualties of FC scouts.

His involvement was claimed by BLA’s propaganda wing Hakkal media itself who claimed Aftab Jattak aka Washain as a BLA terrorist
& BLA’s media outlet Zrumbesh claimed Aftab Jattak as having joined & actively participated in attacks by BLA’s terrorist organization since 2019.

/20
What this means is that, while all the student/political/human rights activism that Aftab Jattak was engaged in at universities libraries sitins & dharnas in 20-21 he was also an active BLA terrorist.
Only reason he got exposed now was because he got killed in this attack.

This particular attack involved over 2dozen hardened BLA terrorists who’d already been involved in numerous BLA terror attacks assigned to BLA Fateh squad that attacks defended posts
Imagine how many such attacks Aftab was involved in, where he survived & was never exposed.

BLA records it’s terrorist attacks because BLA leaders get paid by Indian handlers only after video evidence is used for antiPak propaganda
BLA recorded this attack & called it “Battle of Marwar”
Aftab was a member of this large gang using heavy weapons to breach the post.

BLA Specially Designated Global Terrorist paid a video tribute to Aftab Jattak with a zoomed focus on him trying to kill an FC scout defending his post by leaning over the wall with his gun to shoot a soldier in the head, when he got shot in the face himself& dropped dead.

It’s one case example of a baloch youngster being mischievously recruited, trained & used against his own nation & against his own country in the name of misguided notions of ethnic separatism to benefit foreign enemies.
In time, i shall be sharing many more of such cases.

Another such case example is Shah Daad Mumtaz Baloch.
He had the privilege of attending a state funded Degree College, he had opportunity to pursue adv studies at QaideAzam University in Islamabad, state even awarded him a scholarship to receive an MPhil degree.

But what happened to him at these colleges?
He even received an Master’s degree from QAU Islamabad but the toxic leftist, marxist culture at campus, instead of polishing him with values of civic duty, public service & respect for the state, pushed him towards terrorism.

Shahdad Mumtaz Baloch from an early age was inclined towards d leftist marxist ideologies.
While studying at Attashad Degree College in Turbat, his Marxist ideals led him to join BSO-Azad in 2014.
Remember, BSO-Azad was banned as a terror org in 2013.

As early as 2014 he was recruited by BSO-Azad to take part in terrorist attacks for BLA.
Hence, he fell under radar of LEAs, by 2015 he joined elite Kech Grammar School in Turbat as a teacher & worked for HRCP as “human rights activist” then disappeared.

It is considered a common practice among BLA’s operatives to show their public profile to be that of a political/human rights activist or journalist.
It helps them play victim, rescue caught terrorists & conveniently spread terrorist propaganda as journalists.

In 2015, though BSO-Azad’s mouthpieces, his co-workers at HRCP & his friends claimed that Shahdad was “enforced disappeared” by SFs, he returned home in a few weeks.
Most likely he’d joined a BLA terrorist camp in the mountains in a process of becoming an active terrorist.

Shah dad Mumtaz Baloch was member of BSO-Azad, a recruiting org for #BLA, they make rookies undergo terrorist training
He came from a troubled home, his father had died & he had family issues.
He even enjoyed a troubled reputation of being unreliable among friends.

Shahdad went to Islamabad to begin higher studies at QaideAzam Univ, he got into trouble there as well.
Instead of taking advantage of a lifetime opportunity to succeed in life, he joined leftist/marxist student groups & got involved in campus fights & organizing strikes.

After graduating from QAU, Shahdad got admitted to NIPS as an Mphil scholar at QAU.
He’s seen ‘lecturing’ students at BSAC event on “Cultural Hegemony” at Karachi University.
After ban on BSO-Azad for terror recruitment, BSAC was registered to re establish the same org.

/35
But he got exposed in May 2020 only after getting killed in a BLA terrorist attack & BLA’s media wing Hakkal claimed him as a “veteran” terrorist, not as a rookie & with his QAU mate Ehsan Baloch, he was undercover for at least one year before getting killled in May 2020.
/36
/36
It means while Shahdad was lecturing students at the BSAC event at KU in Jan 2020 he was already with BLA.
Meaning; an active terrorist working for a Specially Designated Global Terrorist organization #BLA was actually “indoctrinating” students at Karachi University!

Propaganda wing of BLA also released a video tribute to Shahdad & Ehsan Baloch both of whom were killed in a BLA terrorist attack.
His BLA gang later buried both of them in the mountains where they escaped after getting chased by security forces.
