Balochistan, Waziristan insurgents used Afghan territory more than once to target Pakistan Army: Sources

Sources in the Indian security establishment told India Today that insurgents from Balochistan and Waziristan used Afghan territory more than once to target the Pakistan Army after the Taliban took over Kabul.

Within a few months of the Taliban takeover, sources said Afghan territory had been used on more than one occasion by insurgents from Balochistan and Waziristan to target the Pakistan Army.

Only recently, more than 50 Pakistan Army and Frontier Corps troops were killed by Baloch revolutionaries in Panjigur and Nushki areas of Balochistan, sources in the Indian security establishment told India Today.

Earlier, when the Ashraf Ghani-led government was in power in Afghanistan, Pakistan would blame Indian agencies and the Ghani government for attacks carried out by different insurgent groups in Pakistan.

While no Indian official is now stationed in Afghanistan, attacks are still being carried out against the Pakistan Army, allegedly using Afghan territory.

"Pakistan can no longer blame India in the international community and will have to address its homegrown issues," said sources, adding that "Balochs are getting more eager for liberation".

"The Pakistan Army and Chinese companies are collaborating to exploit resources in Balochistan and committing atrocities on a daily basis against their own citizens," sources added.
