#1 He is a member of the PML, IIRC, but heads a coalition government with the MMA.

Of late there has been an upsurge of attacks by a group called the Baluchistan Liberation Army (BLA), building on the anger that many Baluch's feel at the building of a port city in Gwadar which they believe will do nothing for them and only benefit immigrants from other parts of Pakistan. The BLA has been playing on this and conducted some attacks, including one on the Chief Minister himself.

The Pakistanis have been going on about Indian and Afghan involvement in terrorisn and seperatism for years, it seems unlikely to me, but maybe where there is smoke there is fire. Both countries accuse Pakistan of sending terrorists across the borders, so maybe they want to play the same game.
