Without naming any nation, Pakistan on Thursday said a "neighbouring country" had supplied a large quantity of ammunition and money to slain Baloch nationalist leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti.
Pakistan Supreme Court on Wednesday granted bail to embattled former military ruler Pervez Musharraf in the Nawab Akbar Bugti murder case.
The two are also planning to approach the International Court of Justice against Islamabad's alleged violation of a 1947 agreement on merger of Balochistan province.
Meet Balochistan's 80-year-old conspirator in chief against Pak President Musharraf.
Bugti, former chief minister of Balochistan and head of his tribe, was killed in 2006 in a military operation ordered by Musharraf who was president and army chief at the time.
A tribal leader in the restive Baluchistan has accused Pakistan army of using tanks and helicopter gunships to quell "agitation against outsiders."
The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) has undergone a significant transformation, evolving from hit-and-run attacks to carrying out sophisticated operations with tactical precision. The group's tactics and targets have become increasingly audacious, targeting security forces, Chinese nationals, and innocent civilians. Experts attribute the BLA's evolution to various factors, including the leadership of Bashir Zeb, the group's growing intelligence network, and its exploitation of the grievances of the Baloch people. The BLA's actions are a cause for concern, as the group's sophisticated attacks pose a major challenge to security forces.
A non-bailable warrant was issued against former Pakistani military ruler Pervez Musharraf in connection with the murder case of Lal Masjid cleric Abdul Rashid Ghazi.
The dead were identified as belonging to Punjab province. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far.
Pakistan's former military ruler Pervez Musharraf was on Thursday rushed to the ICU of a naval hospital in Karachi after he developed high blood pressure and fainted.
Gen Parvez Musharraf was on Wednesday declared an "absconder" by a special tribunal trying the former Pakistani dictator for high treason as he failed to appear in person despite repeated summons and directed authorities to produce him before the court within 30 days.
After his failed misadventure in Kargil, Musharraf deposed the then Prime Minister Sharif in a bloodless coup in 1999 and ruled Pakistan from 1999 to 2008 in various positions.
Musharraf, 73, in a talk show on Dunya News last week had said: "Well he (Raheel Sharif) did help me and I am absolutely clear and grateful. I have been his boss and I have been the army chief before him... He helped out, because the cases are politicised, they put me on the exit control list, they turned it into a political issue."
Amid reports that the Pakistan government was under pressure to allow Pervez Musharraf to leave the country, the former military ruler on Sunday said he will not flee and defend himself in all cases.
