US Designates Balochistan Liberation Army and Majeed Brigade as Foreign Terrorist Organizations
The United States has designated the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and its alias, the Majeed Brigade, as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs). This action, previously taken in 2019 with an SDGT designation for the BLA, reaffirms the US commitment to countering terrorism. The BLA has claimed responsibility for various attacks, including suicide bombings and hijackings, since its initial designation. The State Department's move is seen as a significant step in combating terrorist financing and operational networks.
