Investigators on the trail of insurgency in Balochistan for years have found evidence showing India and Afghanistan facilitating the insurgent organisations in spreading terrorism in Pakistan.
A report prepared by the country’s prime intelligence agency contains proof against India and Afghanistan in connection with providing facilities to the Baloch separatists as well as the Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) to carry out terrorist activities in Balochistan and other parts of the country.
Sharing some contents of the report with Pakistan Today, an intelligence official said a Baloch separatist [Mengal], who was a permanent resident of Quetta and presently living near football stadium Kandahar (Afghanistan) was affiliated with the BLF and was head of the Mengal tribe in Afghanistan.
This person, he said had obtained Afghan identity card (Tazkra) and passport using fake name, Emal Khan.
Talking about his involvement in anti-Pakistan activities, the report read that Mengal was affiliated with the BLF as a representative of Brahamdagh Bugti and had got training in India to handle remote-controlled devices.
According to the report, in December 2010, Mengal visited New Dehli on fake Afghan documents and was received by Sonu – a code name of RAW handler at New Delhi airport. He was provided with a vehicle/driver and lodged in a flat in New Delhi, the report also read.
According to the report, in India he was provided with 300 sets of transmitters and receivers/detonators to be used in improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and on return to Kabul, those items were cleared through customs by the National Directorate of Security (NDS) officials.
The official said Mengal was a close friend and associate of Riaz Gul Bugti (deputy commander of Brahamdagh Bugti in Afghanistan). He visited India three times for getting training in IED handling and was mostly found in Kabul and Kandahar, he said.
He said Mengal was the front man of Brahamdagh and was carrying out militant activities on his behalf while operating mostly from a Gulf state and Afghanistan.
Mengal, the report read, reached Afghanistan on May 25, 2007 and succeeded in getting an Afghan passport and Afghan identity card with a fake name.
