Blood on the Tracks: Pakistan's Unrelenting Cycle of Violence A recent car bombing in Quetta, Pakistan has left at least 24 people dead and dozens more injured.
The blast occurred near a railway track in the Faquir Abad area, echoing the country's long history of sectarian violence. Quetta, the provincial capital, is a hotbed of sectarian tension.
The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has been waging a low intensity insurgency against the Pakistani state, seeking to establish an independent Balochistan free from what they perceive as Islamabad's control over their resources and rights.
