The Hindu : Opinion / Op-Ed : Inside Balochistan's dirty war: Baloch politicians allege the murders, were carried out by Pakistan's intelligence services to send a message the region's largest secessionist party. General Musharraf had, in fact, helped precipitate the crisis.
Pakistan's government says one thing and we say another. Ever since 2004, the government hasn't allowed a single journalist into Dera Bugti and Kohlu independently. That should tell you something about who has something to hide.
Even though the Pakistan Army was able to crush tribal rebellions espousing Baluch nationalism, new generations of urban educated Baloch were drawn to their cause.
