Balochistan Liberation armáda

The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) was a Baloch nationalist militantní organizace, která vedla válku proti Pakistani government from 2004. The BLA was founded by Khair Bakhsh Marri, and it seeking equal rights and self-determination for the Baloch people in Pakistan, who were subjected to repression for decades. In 2000, it claimed responsibility for a series of bombing attacks on Pakistani authorities, and the US State Department described the BLA as a terrorist group. Pákistán obvinil BLA z toho, že je Indian proxy, a tvrdil, že indické konzuláty v Kandaháru a Džalalabadu v Afghanistan poskytovaly BLA zbraně, výcvik a finanční pomoc ve snaze destabilizovat Pákistán. Kromě toho uniklý kabel také naznačil, že United Arab Emirates and Russia také podporovaly BLA.
