BULF claims threatening Red Cross

Dawn, 16 May 2010,

QUETTA: The Baloch United Liberation Front said on Saturday that it had threatened the International Committee of the Red Cross and other organisations of the United Nations to leave Balochistan.

A BULF spokesman, Shahiq Baloch, told a local news agency by phone that his group had asked ICRC to suspend its activities.

He said the ICRC had taken no notice of what he called state’s atrocities against the Baloch people, adding that the committee and other UN organisations had played no role for the welfare of thousands of displaced Baloch people. —Staff Correspondent
