It was not My Lai in Vietnam but Mehi in Balochistan early Tuesday morning, when Muslims break fast in the month of fasting called Ramadhan and the jihadi army of Pakistan was busy targeting the Baloch who they consider apostates. The seven dead included Safar Khan, a brother of Ho Chi Minh of Balochistan – Dr Allah Nazar, chief of the Baloch Liberation Front. Dr Allah Nazar’s two nephews Suleman Baloch and Zakir Baloch were also among at least seven killed. “According to latest reports, the security forces siege of Mashkay still continues,” Daily Sangar reported. Mehi is the ancestral village of Dr Allah Nazar, gold medal winning gynecologist and former torture victim in France-sized Balochistan. Gohram Baloch, spokesman for the BLF, who called newspaper offices on satellite phone, said, “After looting the army set the village afire.” The dead included Ramzan Baloch and Alam Khan Baloch. Two guests of Suleman Baloch were also killed. A large number of women and children were injured, the BLF said.
