The motive behind the killings and the identity of the victims are yet to be ascertained. ─

At least 14 passengers were offloaded from a bus on the Makran Coastal Highway in Balochistan's Ormara area and shot dead by unidentified assailants early on Thursday.

According to Levies sources, around 15-20 unidentified armed assailants in camouflage uniform reportedly stopped five or six buses travelling between Karachi and Gwadar.

In the Buzi Top area, between 12:30am and 1am, the gunmen stopped a bus, checked the identity cards of passengers and offloaded about 16 of them, the sources said.

At least 14 were shot dead, while two passengers managed to escape the massacre and made it to the nearest Levies checkpost. They were shifted to Ormara Hospital for treatment.

Levies and other law enforcement personnel reached the spot and launched an investigation into the incident. The bodies of the victims were recovered from Noor Baksh Hotel.

The motive behind the killings and the identity of the victims are yet to be ascertained.

A similar incident took place in Balochistan's Mastung area in 2015, when armed men kidnapped about two dozen passengers from two Karachi-bound coaches and killed at least 19 of them in the mountainous area of Khad Kocha.

Within the past week, Balochistan saw a terror attack targeting the Hazara community in Quetta which left at least 20 killed, and a blast in Chaman which targeted security forces.

May the martyrs rest in peace.

To all those asking for a grand military operation in Balochistan now; ARE YOU NUTS?
That is exactly what India wants right now to shift the focus from the eastern border. The time for a grand operation will come but it is not now.

We have stretched our forces enough already. Sealing the border especially with Iran will see a dramatic decrease in militancy. Until the completion of border fencing of the section of Balochistan adjoining Iran and Afghanistan, this is a losing fight.

These are all lame excuses

The fact is our security forces have failed in coming with a security policy that can match the level of threat we face in Balochistan

15- 16 terrorists in military fatigue were roaming on Makran Coastal Highway and there was no one to check them

This is failure and negligence written all over it

Oh please, we can fight on two fronts. Pull up 100k reserves to storm that province with support from Burraqs and F-7s stationed in the region, and send in people from other provinces to permanently settle there too so our presence is cemented.

If India dares to try and conquer us, Muslims will flatten Delhi for possibly the millionth time in history.

Can the army wake up now? Or are they still gonna sleep untill something even worse happens. Stupid policies of an incompetent institution

Nations fall becuse institutions sleep on problems.

And who's going to tell the world if we did? Are you going to go there with a camera and record the operation? Use your brain

We have losers ruling us. In parliament. In Senate. And sometimes even in GHQ

What else can you expect when PTM is being enforced on Pashtuns of Pakistan making them a legitimate political force

Balochistan is huge in landmass, the size of Germany and checking every nook and corner is not possible, but main corridors like Makran Coastal highway should have been manned 24/7, this was a security lapse with Hazara killing just a week ago and everyone knew more attacks was coming in Balochistan...

A convoy of buses could have been provided with a security cover if not individual bus or vehicle.

It is a f*cking main highway. And there were 15-20 terrorists roaming around in military fatigues waiting for their target

And nobody from FC or police or army checked them.

The nearest check post was of levies who in reality are neither trained nor equipped to face such threats.

Sick, taking out civilians from bus then killing them. Wonder who will claim responsibility.

BLA Rats

 

[GumNaam]

a humiliated india + a humiliated america + a humiliated kabul = terrorism in Pakistan cuz that is the worse that they could do.

days of using afghanistan as a terror launching pad are numbered though...won't be long now before america's exit and then peace tranquility shall return to both countries.

No doubt this is a security lapse, everyone knew it was coming.

The idea is to keep Balochistan embroiled in chaos and anarchy...the vibes at least.
IK visit to Iran could be one reason, CPEC, Gwadar, China-Pak realations, India looking for a revenge after the Pulwama...dozens of reasons.

This was a big security lapse on our agencies part...
