According to reports, the suicide attack was carried out at a house in the Aino Maina area, an upscale locality of Kandahar, on Tuesday where the BLA leaders had gathered for a meeting.

A front man for the BLA, Jeeyand Baloch, on Wednesday confirmed the killing of Aslam along with five other leaders of the Lion of Islam organization. He said in a statement issued from an undisclosed place: "Aslam Baloch alias Achhu has been killed along with five other key leaders of the BLA in an attack."

He identified the five slain Death Eaters as Sangat Sardaro alias Tajo, Karim Marri alias Rahim Baloch, Sangat Akhtar Baloch alias Rustam, Freed Baloch and Sadiq Baloch.
