BLA Suicide Bombing Plot Foiled in Balochistan as Two Minor Girls Rescued, Says Minister
Security forces have foiled a suicide bombing plot linked to the banned Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), also referred to by the government as Fitna al Hindustan, after rescuing two minor girls who officials say were being prepared for a suicide attack in southern Balochistan.
The development was announced by Balochistan Interior Minister Mir Ziaullah Langove during a press conference in Quetta on Friday, where he presented 16-year-old Zainab and 12-year-old Fatima, whom authorities said were recovered during an intelligence-based operation.
According to the minister, the operation prevented a potentially devastating terrorist attack and exposed what he described as the militant group’s use of women and children in its activities.
