QUETTA: The Ziarat superintendent of police (SP) has been suspended following a terrorist attack on the Mangi Dam police post, it emerged on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, at least nine police officials, including two station house officers, embraced martyrdom in the attack, while 15 alleged terrorists were killed in a clearance operation after the attack.

Balochistan chief minister’s aide for media and political affairs Shahid Rind, confirmed the SP’s suspension to Dawn and said that the government had issued a notification in this regard.

Separately, the provincial government also constituted a four-member inquiry committee to probe the incident.

According to a notification dated July 7 and available with Dawn, the committee was tasked with establishing the “complete sequence of events leading to, during and after the terrorist attack”.

The committee will also ascertain the facts and circumstances surrounding the incident and evaluate the deployment, preparedness, response, command, control and coordination of all concerned law enforcement and security agencies.
 
It still boggles my mind that why have we not sealed Baluchistan and launch a major operation like Rah-e-Rast or Rah-e-Nijat or Zarb-ul-Azb? when will our state go scortch earth on this Baluch issue? this has been going for far too long and people are still not distancing themselves from BLA, so there is lack of Govt's will and people approval of violence.

Few years back, had a discussion with one of my close acquaintances when he was visiting Houston who happened to be close to the upper military ranks. Per his assessment, around half a million troop deployment was needed to fully eradicate the BLA/BRA menace.
Needless to say, in the current situation on the eastern border and now the western border as well, this won't be happening. So these kind of attacks would continue and I don't think there intensity is subsiding anytime soon.

Number of troops is not a issue, problem is that we have so many "educated" Pakistani's living in Pakistan and west who sympathize with BLA/TTP, they call it Genuine Grevience of Baluch people, you will see that People will come to justify terrorist attacks by attacking Govt even before they condemn the BLA. Ask yourself, what is BLA demands? TTP we know its Shariah law, BLA just want Pakistan to give up their claim over Baluchistan, its a small group of people who wants independence and using suicide attacks and violence against the rest of Pakistan and Baluch people to gain it, and they damn well know that Pakistan will not just pack up and leave Baluchistan, no matter how many soldiers/civilians they will kill, but their funders and handlers will keep making the Chuitya out of Baluch people, who are able bodied men who can work labor jobs, they can turn their lives around by putting some effort, its not like Baluch people are barred from rest of Pakistani cities like Karachi, Islamaad or Lahore to migrate to find work opportunities but instead they take the money from RAW/MOSSAD/UAE to keep this conflict alive, its a cycle which can not be broken because people in Baluchistan are too dumb to understand this. And if a race/ethnic group is literally that dumb to realize that regardless of what BLA do they will never gain independence and still sending their sons to join them, then that race/ethnic group can not be trusted for self-governance, i am sorry it may sound racists to Baluch but I don't think that Baluch/Pashtoon are civilized or mentally developed to Govern themselves, if you let them have their way the entire region will explode and will become a hub for global terrorism, and entire world will suffer because every know scum and terrorist will rush to KPK/Baluchistan because they will find sanctury their.
