Balochistan Terrorism Watch

No it's a blackhole because you haven't given large parts of the province access to gas, it's a blackhole because you keep abducting people without giving them due process thus further fueling the fire, it's a blackhole because you have made it a blackhole, when people don't have access to basic necessities like gas or water don't be surprised that they don't support your rule.

Have you wondered why the whole missing persons problem is a issue in the first place? It's because arrogance of the khakis that think they are above things like giving people their due process in non kangaroo court's.

Balochistan per capita budget is 2x time more then rest of Pakistan. Baloch govt basically get $3bn annually from tax collected from Punjab/Karachi no question asked.

Total amount of gas ever produced from Balochistan since 1950, $60bn.

Giving gas in pipelines to all of Balochistan was never practical.

I don't think we've ever witnessed an attack of this scale before. I think people here are misconstruing this attack. BLA has shown itself time and time again to have increased their capability, planning, intelligence, and coordination to ensure the simultaneity and scale of the attack. It's quite clear that all indicators point towards them growing in their capability not weakening. They also feel they have enough female recruits to utilize in non-suicide roles as well which is also another interesting trend.
BLA isn't stupid, they aren't going to be sending this many people unless its confident that it has the resources to replicate this or at least maintain the tempo it has.

According to eyewitness reports in Quetta, reported by BBC Urdu

The attacks that began in Balochistan on Saturday morning also targeted the capital Quetta, and terrorists attacked various locations in the city.
According to BBC correspondent in Quetta, Muhammad Kazim, the series of attacks in Quetta city began after 6 am and began in the southern areas of the city.
Armed men attacked police and security force posts around the University of Balochistan from the Sheikh Zayed Hospital area.
Banks were also targeted in the Hazarganji area of Sariab, while the Khaliq Shaheed police station was also attacked. Meanwhile, reports of attacks on other government facilities continued to be received.
Later, the scope of these attacks spread to Edhi Chowk near the Red Zone, where a loud explosion at 9 am was followed by gunfire until 1 pm.
Ayaz Ahmed, an eyewitness present at the Universal Complex near Edhi Chowk, told the BBC that the explosion was so powerful that it shattered the windows of the complex.
The explosion shattered the windows of hotels in the area from Imdad Chowk to Jinnah Road, and shopkeepers closed their shops and left.
No work was done in the offices of the Civil Secretariat, while work in the district courts and subordinate courts also came to a standstill.
Meanwhile, intermittent gunfire could be heard from areas surrounding the Red Zone. Security personnel also prevented journalists from going to the Civil Hospital

Very well observed.
I am pretty sure the amount of men/women they have inducted are bigger then what most believe them to be. They have been changing their tactics and have been increasing OPSEC(no more promo vids or large banners),using teams of 2-3 on bikes for kamikaze or hit and run missions, more requie and large scale co ordination.these certainly wont be possible without radio comms or telegram/encrypted channels.
They have been increasing their spread of info too through books , videos and tutorials.
Even their bigger comanders dont appear on vids anymore. Indian and israeli agencies have been teaching them a lot of stuff.
These are not the attacks which we used to see in early 2000s .

They are using the PKK methods which was heavily taught by the mossad and gained cruical experience in the war against ISIS. They had a large female workforce so that to unite and make them one etc.

Watch from 31:00 and youill understand some things.

You are right, but it's also down to mass losses. Remember the Baluch culture is highly conservative where men lead everything, with the Kurds they tend to be more balanced.

They also suffer disproportionate higher levels of casualties as females.

Well you assess the the success based on the outcomes. To lose five times the number of people, including experienced fighters is an absolute disaster. If you look at global insurgencies many times those which start to fade throw their all into mass attacks to cause a bigger ripple in the state and to attract attention to the cause. I'm not sure who will be attracted to bodies on video being blown to pieces, and their dead scattered everywhere with little to show for it.
Had this been a military outfit from a sovereign country this would be deemed a failure on all fronts. That doesn't change even if they are terrorist org and engage in asymmetric warfare. Losses like this are completely unsustainable, and show awful planning on their part.
To tell people to flee into the mountains when panicked is clownish, this also led many of them to group up and be killed by drone traps.

It also means counter intelligence is lacking or perhaps even non existent, operation of this scale can't go unnoticed if there is proper monitoring in place, it also explains the pause in attacks over the last few months if this is what they were planning.

 

[Distant_Observer]

This was a very large scale attack by BLA and well countered but the weapons are flowing from Afghanistan and training from kurds in Iraq.

i think the 40 ks killed yesterday were part of this op .

Ultimately it is an intelligence failure.

Sir we will hold you to your words, respectfully...... It cannot be another restraint riddled, capability showcasing ISPR stunt, but a real attack delivering real damage to the ego of RSS chaddi buddies.....

I disagree, accepting that you are going to take disproportionate losses is accepted by any insurgent group, what they have created is doubt in the public mind about the military being able to prevent such attacks
