The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) eliminates a key agent of the Pakistan Army and intelligence apparatus, Babul Muhammad Hassani, in a targeted operation in Quetta. According to a statement issued by BLA spokesperson Jeeyand Baloch, the group’s Special Tactical Operations Squad (STOS) executed an intelligence-based operation (IBO) targeting Hassani’s vehicle with a magnetic improvised explosive device (IED) in the Stop area on Baruri Road. The operation was reportedly based on intelligence gathered by the BLA’s intelligence wing, ZIRAB.
Babul Hassani, identified as the son of Zabar Muhammad Hassani and a resident of Kalat, was declared dead on the spot. An associate traveling with him, Nabil—son of Muhammad Ameen from Khuzdar—was seriously injured. The vehicle was completely destroyed in the explosion.
BLA described Babul Hassani as a central figure in the occupying Pakistan Army’s network in Kalat. He had direct links with Zakria Muhammad Hassani, a known death squad commander, and led an armed group involved in operations against Baloch in the region.
The statement further accused Hassani of operating torture cells under the protection of Paki forces, where Baloch youth were detained, tortured, and disappeared. His network helped in establishing military posts in the Grap area of Kalat and carried out operations in Sarkheen and Mangochar’s Kohak region, leading to the enforced disappearance of several locals.
BLA has issued a final warning to associates of Hassani collaborating with the Pakistan Army to surrender to the Baloch National Army or “face the same fate” as Babul Hassani.
This attack of BLA is a powerful reminder that the struggle for POB’s independence is not only ongoing but intensifying. With the continued violence and oppression perpetrated by the Pak Army, the BLA remains steadfast in its commitment to liberating POB.
