Background reading: Of Pakistani Death Squads, Baluch Masses and Slaughterhouses: "Naming these organizations with the words Baluchistan or Baluch are efforts designed to deceive the international community into believing that there are ethnic, tribal and political feuds going on in Baluchistan, and that the state is not involved in murdering Baluch dissidents or civilians."

And earlier coverage: of the "banned Baloch Mussallah Diffah Army (BMDA) [which] claimed responsibility for the killing of human rights activist Naeem Sabir in Khuzdar." ("On March 3, 2011 a BMDA spokesman identifying himself as Mir Jang Baloch "threatened the Baloch people against participating in the activities of the Baloch Student Organisation, Baloch Republican Party, Balochistan National Party and Baloch National Movement, otherwise they would meet the same fate.")

QUETTA: A senior leader of the Balochistan National Party (BNP), Jumma Khan Raisani, and three others were shot dead in Gizigi area of Khuzdar, about 300 kilometre south of Quetta. According to police, Jumma Raisani was on his way back home after offering Friday prayers when unidentified armed men opened fire on his vehicle. As a result, Jumma and his three guards Muhammad Ishaq, Muhammad Zareef and Muhammad Bakhsh died on the spot. Baloch-Musala Defa Army has claimed the responsibility for the killings. Its spokesman, who introduced himself as Mir Jang Baloch, said that his organisation carried out this attack and warned that such attacks would continue in the future. A senior police official said that the assailants ambushed the BNP leader near Khuzdar Degree College and suspected that it could be a case of target killing. Police officials rushed to the spot soon after the incident and cordoned off the area. The deceased were taken to District Headquarters Hospital for medico-legal process where score of BNP activists assembled and chanted slogans against government. Balochistan National Party President Sardar Akhtar Mengal condemned the killings, alleging that the killing of Jumma was a reaction of his Thursday's statement about missing persons.
