    @Roflcopter: Don’t worry these Indian backed criminals will try again soon enough but eventually they will be rounded up and dealt with. The average Baluch have shown in polls that they are sick of them too.Recommend

    This type of incident helps insure that massive investment moving energy to and through Pakistan will remain on the drawing board for a long time to come – people don’t want to invest Billions in a country which is so unstable and has so many militants roaming around. Recommend

    @Cautious….for a start, you can stop using Afghanistan as soil for constructing terrorism in Pakistan. The day when India stops its attempts to make Balochistan a graveyard via Afghanistan, I will take your comments seriously.

    By the way, I hear the Taliban are on negotiating stage back in Afghanistan. That could number your days there to just a few now.Recommend

    Most of the Baluch I know don’t have any support for these criminals and know it is part of an external plot by Pak’s enemies to cause trouble. The more such crime they, the more they alienate and turn people in Baluchistan against the criminals. This is a good thing that the cirminals are becoming more desperate and can only damage property in Baluchistan. The foriegn criminals in K P can only attack innocents and the public all hates them. The same is happening in Baluchistan now. That’s why more and more Baluch are signing up to join Pakistani military. The army needs to have more Baluch divisions stationed along with border with Afghanistan.Recommend
