KARACHI, Jan 22 (DNA): A commander of outlawed Balochistan Liberation
Army (BLA) has been killed over a financial dispute in Afghanistan.

The terrorist commander was identified as Razak aka engineer who was a
resident of Ahmed Wal area of Nushki and was living in Afghanistan for
quite some time.

“He was involved in fundraising for the outlawed BLA besides also
smuggling weapons from Afghanistan into Pakistan through Nushki route,”
they said.

The sources further shared that Razak has also claimed responsibility
for a suicide attack in Quetta in 2011 besides his involvement in other
major terrorist acts in the Balochistan province.

This is not the first time that a terrorist commander has been killed in
Afghanistan recently as on January 10, the most wanted terrorist in
Pakistan and outlawed TTP spokesperson, Khalid Balti alias Muhammad
Khurasani, was killed in Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province.

Khalid Balti alias Muhammad Khurasani was killed in an undisclosed
location of Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province.

Khurasani had been appointed as banned Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP)
spokesperson in 2014 after Shahidullah Shahid and renowned for his
anti-Pakistan stance.

It was learnt that Balti alias Muhammad Khurasani had been operating a
training camp for TTP terrorists in Miranshah to disturb the peace
situation in Pakistan.

After the success of Operation Zarb-e-Azab by Pakistani armed forces,
Khurasani fled to Afghanistan and later he was appointed as TTP
spokesperson. The outlawed commander had reportedly been busy merging
the factions of TTP. DNA
