Baloch militant groups suspend their activities 'for people'
Militant groups in Balochistan have suspended their 'activities' indefinitely, Aaj TV reported on Monday.The groups include the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) and the Balochistan Republican Army (BRA), according to the channel. The channel quoted BLA spokesman Sarbaz Baloch as saying that the group had suspended its 'activities' for the Baloch people. He denied the suspension was a result of any deal with the government. He, however, warned of retaliation if security forces did not stop the use of force against the group. He demanded the government stop establishing cantonments and launching new projects in the province. Nationalist groups in Balochistan are demanding more control over and additional benefits from the exploitation of natural resources in the province. There have been a number of attacks on gas and electricity installations in the province. Posted by: Fred 2008-09-02 |
