Can't some one finally do something about these BLA and other nationalist traitors? Their not just targeting the Frontier Corps but their also killing thousands of settler civilians who have lived in Balochistan peacefully.
@Pakistani Hindu: Another opportunity for FC and Army to give a befitting reply.to these terrorist enemies of Pakistan.
You are right brother. But that opportunity will be taken over by our media, "intellectuals" and "free judiciary" to shift blame to armed forces and present militants as victims.

We are facing local as well as international terrorism. The most dangerous one is local, which is becoming more dangerous bcz of our corrupt leaders. It seems that there is no govt in Pakistan and we are living in a jungle, where there is no law. People like me are losing hope. Let us join hands to vote Imran Khan and tell them that enough is enough.
here we go again.
BLA/TTP terrorists and foreign agents at it again. May the God's wrath be upon them all
I there any single day in the year when Pakistan does not face terrorism?
What is required is to develop an integrated intelligence network to keep an eye on every single person as what he or she is up to?
There is no doubt about it that there are few groups that are creating law and order situation but if the entire nation will be become vigilant, we all can combat and eradicate terrorism from the country once and for all.
