    1. We strongly condemn the terrorist attack in Balochistan on 11 March. Our deepest condolences go the people of Pakistan and families of victims. As the situation is still unfolding, we express our profound concern for the hostages and call for their immediate release.

    1. They are wearing suicide vests and … that's making the rescue difficult.
    2. The suicide bombers were taken out by security forces snipers.

    1. Spoke with Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti who briefed me on the latest developments in the heinous terrorist attack on Jaffar Express. The entire nation is deeply shocked by this dastardly act and saddened by the loss of innocent lives—such cowardly acts will not shake Pakistan's resolve for peace.

    1. After failing to damage the Pakistan Army within Balochistan, BLA has shifted its targets from military to unarmed civilians. This may give them instant public and media attention, but it will weaken their support base within the civilian population, which is their ultimate objective.

    1. After Aslam Baloch's death in a bomb attack in Kandahar, Afghanistan, the group's leadership passed to Bashir Zaib Baloch.

    1. Instead, its appeal has grown among young Baloch, many of whom believe armed struggle is the only viable path for their people's survival.
    2. Their training takes place in Iran, Afghanistan, and certain parts of Balochistan, whereas weapons are procured from black markets operating in Iran and Afghanistan, along with leftover American weapons.
    3. Given Pakistan's tendency to blame India for almost every issue, such claims are difficult to accept without solid evidence.
    4. If the government provides concrete proof of Indian support, only then will its accusations hold weight. What is clear, however, is that the BLA has a well-funded backer, and its fighters receive highly professional training tailored specifically for insurgency.
    5. Today, the BLA operates with little to no influence from the Marri tribe. Instead, its leadership has shifted to educated Baloch figures, many of whom were once part of the non-violent Baloch Students Organization (BSO).

    1. I beg you with folded hands, please bring my child back. Why didn't you stop the trains if they were not safe? If the train was never going to reach its destination, why let it depart?
