Nawabzada Balach Marri, leader of the banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), has been killed, with the actual cause of his death still not being confirmed. BLA spokesman Bibarg Baloch confirmed to Daily Times on Wednesday Marri’s death, saying that he would not like to disclose the circumstances, which led to the killing of the Baloch guerilla fighter.“It is a black day for the Baloch people. Our leader has been martyred,” he said via satellite phone from an undisclosed place. He refused to tell where Marri was killed and how many people had been killed or injured along with him. He said Marri might have been killed in an operation inside the Pakistani border. AFP, meanwhile, quoted a local TV channel as saying that Marri had been killed in Afghanistan.
