Recent investigations have revealed troubling connections between missing persons and involvement in terrorist organizations such as the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and the Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF).
- Protest Leadership and Terrorist Links: Mahrang, a prominent protest leader, acknowledged that some individuals killed in strikes on terrorist camps in Iran were relatives of protesters under her leadership.
- False Claims by Family Members: Wadood Satekzai, the sister of a suicide bomber, falsely presented him as a missing person before his role in terrorism became apparent.
- Gwadar Port Incident: The suicide bomber responsible for the attack on Gwadar Port was initially reported missing, only to later be identified as a terrorist.
- Turbat Attack Revelation: The perpetrator of last week’s Turbat attack had undergone seven months of terrorist training while his family searched for him.
Authorities and stakeholders should engage with individuals like Samideen and Mahrang, who possess critical knowledge about these groups, to uncover the truth and prevent further tragedies. Addressing these links could expose the underlying realities of the “missing persons” narrative and safeguard vulnerable communities.
