Pakistan military destroyed several houses and abducted around a dozen people from Dera Bugti

Deera bugtee:The Pakistani forces have launched yet another massive offensive in different areas of Sui on Wednesday as chain of military operations continues in Balochistan. 

Sources reported that a large number of armed forces targeted “Go Pat” and “Doda Tibba” areas and indiscriminately bombarded the civilian populace. More than fifty houses of innocent Baloch villagers were reportedly destroyed in the heavy bombardment. The Pakistani forces have also set several houses on fire after searching and striping them off valuables. 

Several people including women and children have been wounded due to the indiscriminate bombing on their villages. The area is said to be still under the siege and the wounded are not being allowed to leave for treatment. 

The central spokesperson of the Baloch Republican Party said, “The violent attack of the ground troops was followed by the bombardment. The forces entered the houses of Baloch civilians and violated the sanctity of households. The occupants were badly tortured and harassed. At least twelve people were abducted during the door-to-door operation. The abducted men were identified as Warna s/o Kundha, Lalu s/o Sahiv, Talu s/o Nabi Bux, Baggi s/o Nabi Bux, Nadir, s/o Tangav, Khalid s/o Bhora, Konari s/o Gosho, Latu s/o Gosho, Dado s/o Esa Usman s/o Essa. All the abducted people belong to Bugti tribe.”


The BRP spokesperson further said that the claims of Pakistani ruler about making efforts to bring peace in Balochistan were nothing but lies to conceal their genocidal policies against Baloch people, adding that, “Military operations, enforced disappearances and extrajudicial murders are being perpetrated to counter the Baloch freedom struggle.”

The BRP demanded from the international community and global institutions to take note of illegal occupation of Balochistan by the Pakistan and continuous human rights abuses and war crimes that Pakistan is committing to counter the Baloch peoples’ struggle to regain their freedom and sovereignty.

Bodhgaya: Eight blasts in Mahabodhi temple; two injured

Bodhgaya: Two people have been injured in a series of blasts inside the Mahabodhi temple in Bihar's Bodhgaya district. The first blast took place inside the temple at 5:30 am, followed by seven successive explosions in the next half hour. (See pics)

While four of the blasts took place inside the Mahabodhi temple, the other four exploded outside. Another two live bombs were reportedly found near the temple, and defused.

Reports say all blasts were of low-intensity and there has been no damage to the temple shrine.

"The holy bodhi tree is safe and there is no damage to it," Bihar police chief Abhayanand told AFP while confirming the blasts and injuries.

There were not too many people inside the temple when the blasts took place. The two injured, reportedly a Buddhist monk from Myanmar and a pilgrim, have been rushed to a hospital.

"We were doing our daily rituals in the temple when we heard a big explosion," said an eyewitness.

Union Home Secretary Anil Goswami said the blasts were a "terror attack." (Read)

Teams from the National Investigation Agency and the National Security Guard are on their way to Bodhgaya.

Senior police officer SK Bhardwaj said there have been intelligence reports about the possibility of attacks on the shrines but he did not give any details. (Why were intel warnings ignored, asks BJP)

The temple premises have been cordoned off. Reports say security has been beefed up in and around other religious sites of the district.

Last year, security of the Mahabodhi temple was handed over to the Special Task Force of Bihar Police. A mock drill was carried out at the temple by the district administration in the last week of June. 

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh strongly condemned today's blasts, saying "such attacks on religious places will never be tolerated." (Read)

The Buddhist shrines in Bodhgaya, a town 130 kilometers south of Patna, attract a large number of pilgrims, especially from Japan, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Myanmar. The main pilgrimage starts in September.

Pakistani rightwing Islamist newspaper 'The Nation'

Pakistani rightwing Islamist newspaper 'The Nation' accuses me of working for the Indian Intelligence Agency RAW in a story about MOSSAD, then takes down the story from its website. These are the people who wish to be known as the pious and epitome of Islamic values. I guess lying and slander fits at the centre of their core values.
