Kohlu: Balochwarna (correspondent), Pakistani terrorist Army backed with gunship helicopters attacked the house of Mir Baz Khan Marri near Kohlu. According to eyewitnesses Ruthless and inhuman pakistani forces surrounded the house of Baz khan Marri on the night of 19/10/06. The ground forces blocked all way in and out to Mr Marri’s house and then gunship helicopters started indiscriminate bombing which resulted the death of six innocent people including two children and women. Baz Khan Marri, his mother and 3 other ladies got seriously injured in this attack on their house.

The injured were taken to CMH where Baz Khan Marri received martyrdom. Army are avoiding saying anything about other injured people. No one is aware about their whereabouts. More over 12 other people are still missing it said that the army have taken them as well, whereas some people believe that they might have got killed during the attack and their bodies might be under the rabble.

It is a pre-planned mass murder of Baloch people by the Pakistan’s Punjabi army. The army is committed to eliminate Baloch people and occupy the Baloch land. It is a shame that we the Baloch still think that Pakistan’s Law of jungle can serve our demands and safgaurd our rights. We urge all those Baloch political parties who are a part of this army Regime to resign immediately and join the Baloch struggle for Freedom of Balochistan. There is no way we can live with these Punjabi terrorist forces any more.

We urge Baloch Nation to come forward and join hands with Baloch Freedom Fighters and reject those entire greedy politicians and so called Nationalists who believe in pakistani parliamentarian system. We urge all politicians and Nationalist parties to get united on one platform and under one and only flag of Balochistan to spell out INDEPENDENT BALOCHISTAN. We also urge Baloch people, student organisation and political activists to boycott the so called Jirga called by pakistani dictator general Musharraf.

Balochwarna strongly condemn such cowardly attacks on civil population and terms it the genocide of Baloch Nation. We strongly condemn the so called international champions of Human right and the UN council of Human Rights. We are very much disappointed and surprised that why the international community is silent over the Genocide of Baloch Nation?

Pakistan has been continuously committing this crime against Humanity since the forceful merger of Balochistan (1948) with pakistan. Thousands of Baloch women, children and elderly people had been killed, people were thrown from the air, there hundreds mass graves in Balochistan. This brutality has not stopped yet. Even today thousands of Baloch youth are missing, hundreds have been killed since 17/03/05, People's houses have been destroyed and people have no place to live in their own home (mother land ) Balochistan. Balochistan issue is no different then Kashmir and palestine.

We once again urge the International community and all Human loving people to pressure pakistan to end occupation of Balochistan and stop the on going military immediatly.
