President Pervez Musharraf is reported to have accused India of arming and financing militants in Balochistan. When asked whether India was backing armed Baloch militants, Gen. Musharraf told the CNN-IBN channel in an interview aired on January 7: "There are lot of indications, yes indeed." There is a "lot of financial support, support in kind being given to those who are anti-government, anti-me and to those feudal people who are anti-national", the president said. Musharraf also said that he was "annoyed" and "disappointed" by India’s statements and alleged actions in Balochistan. "It’s a direct interference in our internal affairs," he told the television channel.

Paramilitary forces on January 13 launched another operation in the Marri area of Balochistan province using helicopter gun-ships and heavy weapons while unidentified people fired rockets at a Frontier Corps (FC) camp in Kohlu, according to Dawn. Mir Balach Khan Marri, a member of the Balochistan Assembly, informed that security forces (SFs) had been lobbing mortars and rockets at the small township of Kahan for the last two days in which 25 people, mostly women and children, had been killed and several others injured. “Kahan town witnessed heavy shelling and mortar attacks the whole day on Saturday. My house was also targeted and has been badly damaged,” he told Dawn. Official sources, however, claimed that SFs were taking action against outlaws’ hideouts and camps in different parts of the Kohlu and Dera Bugti districts.

Former Chief Minister of Balochistan, Sardar Attaullah Mengal, has claimed that Pakistani security forces are using chemical weapons in the province, according to Hindustan Times. Mengal, who addressed the media at the Karachi Press Club, supported his claim by showing pictures of Baloch civilians who he said had been hit by chemical weapons. Further backing his claim of use of chemical weapons, Mengal pointed to the pictures and said that "you will note the blood coming out of people's mouth without any injury to their bodies... what does this show... it shows that poisonous gases have been used in the military operation." "Chemical weapons are being used (to resolve the crisis), and a large number of women and children have died as a result," Mengal claimed in an interaction with the media. Demanding the presence of international mediators to ensure a fair resolution of the dispute between the tribal-dominated province and Islamabad, Mengal, who is presently the President of the Balochistan National Party, said that the Balochis are not ready to negotiate with either President Pervez Musharraf or his hand-picked Government.

District Co-ordination Officer Abdul Samad Lasi informed that gas supply from Pirkoh and Loti gas fields might be closed down in the next few days, as the water supply pipeline could not be repaired despite passage of considerable time due to sabotage activities. He also said civilians had migrated to safer places in the aftermath of rocket-firing and bomb explosions in the area. Officials of the Balochistan Government said suspected miscreants had laid dozens of landmines at different places in and around Dera Bugti to trap the officials and their vehicles. They added that miscreants had taken position in the hilly area of Sangsillah from where they are carrying out sabotage activities. They observed that life is completely paralyzed in Dera Bugti.

Balochistan Governor Owais Ghani on February 6 accused Afghan warlords and drug barons of arming tribal militants, according to Daily Times. Ghani said that the deteriorating security situation was partly a spillover from Afghanistan due to the weakness of President Hamid Karzai’s Government. "Unfortunately Karzai’s central government is weak in the provinces, and the warlords and drug lords there are pushing arms into Balochistan," he told a news conference in Karachi. "We have successfully stopped 10 to 12 percent of arms movement from Afghanistan, but the border between Afghanistan and Balochistan is 1,200 plus kilometers long and it is very difficult to completely seal it."

The Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP) has accused the paramilitary forces of firing chemical gas shells on civilian population in Dera Bugti. Several people, it said, fell unconscious, some others were overcome by nausea and one person suffered loss of memory. Addressing a press conference in Quetta on February 7, the party’s secretary-general, Agha Shahid Hasan Bugti, said that tribesmen would never surrender their weapons which they kept to protect themselves. Referring to President Pervez Musharraf’s offer for talks after the tribesmen disarmed, he said the Baloch people would rather die than surrender their arms. According to him, the troops had been bombing and shelling civilians in Dera Bugti for 39 days and had killed 75 people and wounded 242 so far. The JWP leader added that 62 law-enforcers had been killed in the area thus far.

The United States said on March 13 that the security situation in Balochistan province was "an impediment" to investment in Pakistan, according to Daily Times. "The security situation needs to be improved as it is an impediment to investment. Until there is an improvement, substantial investment is not possible," US Energy Secretary Samuel W Bodman told journalists in Islamabad when asked about foreign investment in a gas pipeline project from Turkmenistan. Bodman, who arrived in Islamabad for talks on US cooperation in Pakistan’s energy sector, did not support the Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project, saying: "Our country has significant problems with Iran. They are working on nuclear weapons and we are trying to prevent it, so it is impossible to support a contractual agreement."

President Pervez Musharraf said on March 29 that a gas pipeline network would be laid in the entire Balochistan and the inexpensive fuel would be provided to people in each and every corner of the province either through pipelines or LNG and LPG projects, according to The News. "I have a dream for you and trust me that I will make all efforts to realise this dream of bringing prosperity and development to your province to take it at par with other provinces of Pakistan," the president said while speaking at the inauguration of the Gwadar gas supply pilot project. President Musharraf reportedly asked Ports and Shipping Minister Babar Khan Ghouri to prefer locals in appointments at the new port and relax conditions if some candidates lack minimum requirements to increase economic opportunities for them. He also said the Government would provide Rs. three billion for development projects in 29 districts of Balochistan and each of these districts would get Rs 100

According to evidences collected by the Federal Government, the notification said the BLA was involved in sabotage activities, including rocket attacks on national installations, civilian population and security forces. It was also accused of laying landmines in various parts of the province. Interior Secretary Syed Kamal Shah told reporters that anyone associated with the BLA or supporting its terrorist activities would be tried under the Anti-Terrorism Act.

Shah, however, added that no prominent leader of the BLA had been arrested.

A top British Army officer accused Pakistan of allowing the Taliban to use its territory as a headquarters for attacks on Western troops in Afghanistan, reported the UK newspaper The Guardian on May 19. Colonel Chris Vernon, chief of staff for southern Afghanistan, said Taliban leaders were coordinating their campaign from Quetta, capital of Balochistan province. “The thinking piece of the Taliban is out of Quetta in Pakistan. It’s the major headquarters… They use it to run a series of networks in Afghanistan, he told the Guardian.” Vernon said the Quetta leadership controlled about 25 mid-level commanders dotted across the Afghan south, one of whom was arrested in April 2006. He, however, declined to name him.

Explosions from Karachi to Neelum valley and the present insurgency in Balochistan and North Waziristan are conspiracies of the Indian intelligence and its military, said Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) ‘supreme commander’ and chairman of the Muttahida Jihad Council (MJC) Syed Salahuddin on May 21, reported The News. Addressing the Shan-e-Mustafa conference at Kasur in Punjab, he warned if Pakistan showed any kind of retreat or leniency on Kashmir issue at this critical stage, it would destabilise Pakistan because Jihad in Kashmir has entered a decisive stage and showing cowardice would provide an opportunity for Indian forces to infiltrate Balochistan and Waziristan. Criticising the Pakistani Government policy towards India, Salahuddin said Pakistan is fostering friendly relations with India in every field but contrary to this India is responding in shape of intervening in Balochistan and North West Frontier Province.

Tribal elders and political leaders have rejected the Dera Bugti gathering and described it as a Government-sponsored drama, according to Dawn. The Khan of Kalat, Mir Suleman Daud, said that the Dera Bugti gathering had no importance as far as tribal traditions were concerned. “It could be considered a jirga of a class of Bugti tribesmen,” he said, adding that different quarters were talking about the abolition of a tribal system but with the passage of time it was becoming stronger, instead of becoming weak. “A tribal system also exists among Sindhis, Pushtoons and even among Punjabis,” the Khan of Kalat said, adding that a tribal system could not be abolished through such jirgas. He said the Government was involved in all the wrong things happening in Balochistan.

Balochistan continues to remain the hub of illegal detentions and mysterious disappearances of political activists and family members of political leaders, Daily Times has reported. According to unofficial estimates, around 3,000 political activists, relatives of political leaders and ordinary citizens of Balochistan are being detained by intelligence agencies. Relatives of those detained usually have no information on the whereabouts of their kith and kin and the Government has also not registered any cases against the detained suspects. Official sources said that scores of suspected terrorists, primarily Baloch supporters of the Balochistan Liberation Army, are in Government custody due to their alleged involvement in militant activity in the province. Some of these suspects have reportedly been missing for years. The extra-judicial arrests also include journalists and relatives of political leaders. “Such tactics are applied by the government to emotionally blackmail politicians and divert attention from their political struggle,” Kachkol Baloch, leader of the opposition in the Balochistan Assembly, told Daily Times.
