QUETTA: In the last week of September 2024, security forces, acting on precise intelligence, arrested a trained female suicide bomber affiliated with the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) in the outskirts of Turbat.
The woman, identified as Adila Baloch—a qualified nurse once sworn to serve humanity—made startling revelations in an interview with Al-Nahar TV.
Her account not only shocked viewers but also dismantled the pro-BLA narrative promoted for years by Indian-funded media.
Adila recounted that while working on a World Health Organization (WHO) project, she came into contact with BLA operatives posing as “nationalist activists.”
Through soft-spoken rhetoric, emotional appeals, promises of “freedom” for Balochistan, and glorification of “sacrifice” against a so-called oppressive state, they gradually lured her into their trap.
Eventually, she was taken to a hidden camp in the mountains, where, behind the slogans of liberation, she was subjected to gang rape.
The attackers filmed the crime to ensure lifelong blackmail and control over her.
Pakistan’s intelligence agencies, however, turned the tables in Balochistan, thwarting an Indian-backed plan.
Weeks of meticulous surveillance, signal intercepts, and human intelligence pinpointed a high-value target, Khalil Ahmed, to a concealed location in Dalbandin.
Under the cover of night, Special Services Group (SSG) commandos and Frontier Corps (FC) scouts surrounded the hideout.
Within minutes, Khalil was captured, and a basic feature phone recovered from him led to the next target—Indian-linked facilitator Naveed Mengal—who was arrested in a follow-up raid hours later.
The six-week operation involved top-tier HUMINT, SIGINT support, and an extensive local contact network.
Evidence seized included a Thuraya satellite terminal, microSD card, two USIMs, an IED switch box, and 47 rounds of ammunition, along with coordinates for two drop points.
The crackdown severely disrupted the BLA’s local command and communications infrastructure, with no civilian casualties reported.
Post-operation analysis revealed weak operational discipline within the enemy network—repeated times and locations gave Pakistani forces critical openings.
Faulty IMEI cloning allowed persistent location tracking, while cash receipts and workshop records exposed street-level supporters.
The operation followed a classic IBO (Intelligence-Based Operation) model: from intercepting signals to identifying individuals, locating hideouts, and dismantling the broader network.
The next phase targets hawala/hundi financing channels and logistics hubs to permanently shut down this pipeline.
This success comes at a time when global institutions frequently speak of human rights but remain silent on atrocities committed against Baloch women.
Adila Baloch’s ordeal exposes the falsehood of portraying the BLA as a “voice of the people.”
In reality, the group serves as a mercenary tool for Indian intelligence, exploiting and degrading women to advance its agenda.
Her story is not just her own—it reflects the suffering of countless women held captive in the mountains, trapped in fear and blackmail.
This exploitation is neither “freedom” nor a “national struggle”; it is pure terrorism and a grave crime against humanity.

The international community and media must break their silence, ensure justice for these women, and expose the network that turned a nurse into a would-be suicide bomber.
