US declares Baloch separatist group BLA a terror outfit
"The BLA is an armed separatist group that targets security forces and civilians, mainly in ethnic Baloch areas of Pakistan," the State department said. The department made it a crime for anyone in the US to assist the BLA militants.
The US has declared separatist group Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), which is fighting Pakistani rule in the restive Balochistan province, as a terrorist organisation, weeks after it attacked a five-star hotel in the port city of Gwadar. Pakistan in 2006 banned the outfit and have been urging the US to do the same.
