“We have taken note of the designation by the U.S. Administration of the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) as Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). BLA remains a proscribed entity in Pakistan since 2006 and in recent times has carried out several terrorist attacks in the country,” the foreign office in a press release said.

It said it was important that the perpetrators, organizers, financiers and external sponsors including those glorifying these acts of terror against Pakistan were held accountable and brought to justice.
