#1 I believe Balochistanâs is on the border with afganistan?????????????????????????

Could this be retaliation for what has been reported about pak's getting tough with terrorists?

#2 I doubt it. The Bugtis and their various feudin' partners periodically launch rockets here or there in the Sui area as part of their on-going hereditary conflicts, which probably started about the time of Ally Oop. When the government shows up to try and calm things down they shoot rockets at them, too. There's a major gas pipeline at Sui and the locals are fond of trying to hold it hostage for whatever they feel like the gummint owes them that week. This particular incident looks like it's the result of tearing slums down to build new slums.
