Agreed, but the problem is that if they were in fact bla terrorists, courts would release them.
And don't you think maybe they were killed and then body dragged here for picture?
If they were killed in battle, and a picture needs to be shown, then it should be a picture of where the terrorists fell as happened with the stock exchange attack.
If the terrorists are identified outside of battle, then solid evidence needs to be gathered that these suspects are indeed terrorists so that they can be punished equal to the crimes they have committed.
(If confronted while being arrested and they use gunfire then the troops can use body cameras and show footage of them respond to be being fired upon with gunfire)
If they have killed and it can be proven then they should be executed after a legal process to maintain public support in the legal process (once again, if not caught actively in the midst of battle), and if they were doing a less crime then evidence can be used to keep them from being released from jail. If enough are convicted, then it will sap the man power behind such groups and perhaps they can be used to point out who is supporting them financially or with arms.
In the long run the goal should be to stop the attacks and destroy these groups once and for all, not show a few suspected terrorists dead. (A legal framework is the Best way to maintain legitimacy in the eyes of the local population, our citizens, Us) We need to build up intelligence to go after the logistics and command and control by the local and foreign supporters of these groups. Investing more heavily in Electronic, human, and other forms of intelligence capabilities will pay off in this regard.
If we can prove foreign links, these foreign supporters can be taken down legally now that the BLA is designated a foreign terrorist organization (or at least the Pakistani government can try through its diplomatic channnels). This may help cut off money and arms going in to Baluchistan. Many of these fighters may quit if they are no longer supported from abroad, while the others can be dealt with through intelligence and heavily armed law enforcement operations.
Those that have not joined these groups but may be considering it (for financial reasons) should be convinced not to join and offered opportunities in education or vocational training, as well as preferential job opportunities in government projects in their local areas.
P.S. these kinds of pictures and videos should not be shared on social media as they can be taken out of context and used against the army. OPSEC needs to be maintained.
OPSEC also keeps the enemy guessing. No need to warn them.
BTW, this should also be another wake up call that our military and paramilitary forces need thousands more MRAPs. The British made Foxhound MRAP is one of the best (and custom made for similar terrain; Afghanistan), and signing a deal to procure it or build something similar would honor the sacrifices of our troops.
