The Baloch Liberation Army, which wants an independent Balochistan, claimed responsibility. Pakistan is an arbitrary, fictional state with no actual central identity or national integrity, so there is no reason why Balochistan should not be independent. The BLA’s tactics, however, are straight out of the Qur’an, the point of reference for virtually everyone in the Islamic world, particularly those who think political change will bring them liberation.
“Indeed, Allah has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth, because the garden will be theirs, they will fight in the way of Allah and will kill and be killed. It is a promise that is binding on him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. Who fulfills his covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that you have made, for that is the supreme triumph.” (Qur’an 9:111)
“Pakistan: 24 people killed after suicide bomber targets train carrying military personnel,” Sky News, May 24, 2026:
At least 24 people have died after a suicide bomber targeted a train carrying military personnel and their families in Pakistan, officials say.
The shuttle service was travelling through the city of Quetta when a vehicle packed with explosives hit one of the carriages in a residential area, with people living nearby among the dead.
Two of the train carriages overturned and caught fire due to the force of the blast, sending black smoke into the air, according to footage online.
More than 70 others were injured in the explosion in the southwestern province of Balochistan, according to government and security officials.
Doctors at local hospitals said 20 people were in a critical condition.
The incident took place in an area where security forces are usually stationed.
Several buildings were damaged along with more than a dozen vehicles parked along the road, according to witnesses and images circulating on social media.
The train was carrying passengers from Quetta’s cantonment area to connect with the Jaffar Express long-distance train when the blast happened.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif strongly condemned the incident, calling it a “cowardly act of terrorism” in a post on X and offering condolences to the families of the victims.
Shahid Rind, a spokesperson for the Balochistan provincial government, said they “strongly condemn the targeting of innocent civilians and are deeply saddened by the loss of precious human lives. Terrorist elements deserve no leniency”.
A medical emergency was declared at hospitals in the city following the incident, and an investigation has been opened, he said.
Quetta is the capital of insurgency-hit Balochistan province, which borders Iran and Afghanistan.
The outlawed Baloch Liberation Army, (BLA), which demands independence from Pakistan’s central government, has claimed responsibility for Sunday’s attack in a statement sent to reporters….

Another jihadist attack ,with Moslems killing Moslems will the progressives in western governments, or the EU , or the elite pick side? Which side will they pick ?If it was Moslems killing Christians in Africa or Jews anywhere , or Buddhist in Asia ,or atheist in western Europe or Hindus in India it would be easy. that would be easy. Moslems looking to get a separate nation that has no central government ,no real history as a nation where have we heard this before ?Pakistan a country that borders Afghanistan that is teaming up with China silk roads plan with China spending billions to improve Pakistan ports .Pakistan who has increasing fighting on its border with mineral rich 4th world Afghanistan this could be interesting.

Muslims killing muslims : absolutely no cause for concern in my mind.
WPM says
More Moslems kill more Moslems from different countries different clans ,different sects then Moslems being kill by “nonbelievers” over the last 1200 years .Islam the religion of crabs in a bucket dragging each other to third world status by infighting over the last 1200 years. Maybe that is why the elite love them because they like common people dumb living in unorganized societies that they can declare Mashal law to control every aspect of life to tempt down the violence of Islamic societies .They think they can control this beast after it has cancel free societies thru violence ,immigration ,and outbreeding. Why are western nations still importing these cult following unstable people to western nations is it use as a tool to overthrow western civilization so the elite can set up a feudal system with the promise of peace?

I have seen a lot of Indians support the Baloch separatist movement. I don’t – for the simple reason that Balochis are mohammedans, just like other Pakis are
The reason Pakistan’s ill-wishers support this movement is the same reason that they supported the Bangladesh movement of 1971. At the time, even India bought into that, and the prime minister Indira Gandhi fought a war against Pakistan and liberated Bangladesh. It didn’t take long for Hindus to be at the receiving end, but regardless of how one looks at Bangladesh, it quickly morphed into another Pakistan once the Urdu vs Bengali language issue was no longer an issue. And anyone can see what Bangladesh is today
Like Hugh once noted about other internecine wars elsewhere, the only thing to support about this would be the war itself. Keep the Balochis strong enough to bleed the Pakis dry, but conversely, keep the Pakis running long enough to return the favor to the Balochis. Let it be like the two cats of Kilkenny, where the 2 fighting cats ultimately destroyed each other
