[ToloNews] The Ministry of Interior (MoI) on Wednesday said that at least six non-combatants were killed after a jacket wallah targeted a civilian vehicle in Aino Mina Township in Kandahar city on Monday.
Sources meanwhile said that Aslam Baloch, the leader of Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... Liberation Army (BLA) was among those killed in the attack.
But, the Ministry of Interior has not confirmed the report.
"A number of non-combatants were killed as a result of the suicide kaboom in Aino Mina Township. They are six people and two others were maimed. It is said that a number of Baloch nationals were among those martyred," said Interior Ministry front man Najib Danish.
While the Pak media reported that Asalam Baloch was the criminal mastermind of suicide attack on Chinese embassy in the Pak port city of Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... , a number of political experts described Baloch as a migrant in Afghanistan.
"Pakistain asked for serious suppressing of separatists on Afghan soil when the Afghanistan-Pakistain intelligence sharing agreement was signed. It had a big meaning. I hope that this agreement is not in the implementation phase or it is not executed in informal shape, because it would have devastative implications ahead, in the view of that, the Baloch was targeted by Pakistain’s ISI," said political commentator Ajmal Balochzada.
The Baloch separatist Aslam Baloch was living in Afghanistan’s Kandahar province since 2005.
"The Baloch people are fighting very tough. The Pak military does not want them to be free, because they will lose 60 to 70 percent of Pakistain’s territory if the Balochis get freedom," said political analyst Dawar Nadi.
Aslam Baloch has been one of the mainstream critics of the Pak government. He had sustained wounds in the past after a clash with Pak security forces.

[PRESSTV] Yemeni army soldiers, supported by allied fighters from Popular Committees, have reportedly carried out an aerial attack against a position of Saudi-sponsored bully boyz loyal to Yemen's former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, in the country’s northern province of al-Jawf.
Spokesman for Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree said early on Wednesday that Yemeni soldiers and their allies attacked Saudi mercenaries in the Suwaiqa base, which lies in the al-Yatma area of the province, Arabic-language al-Masirah television network reported.
The report added that the Arclight airstrike left a large number of Saudi-sponsored bully boyz dead and injured.
The development came shortly after Yemeni army snipers fatally shot four Saudi soldiers in the kingdom's southwestern Jizan region, in retaliation for the Riyadh regime's ongoing military aggression against the impoverished country.

Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives.

[PRESSTV] India's anti-terror agency Wednesday said it had busted a local krazed killer cell inspired by the ISIS group that was planning to carryout bombings and target prominent political figures.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) said 10 members of an obscure krazed killer group "Harkat ul Harb-e-Islam" were tossed in the slammer Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! in multi-city raids and a further six suspects were being questioned over their alleged links with the outfit.
NIA front man Alok Mittal said arms and ammunition were recovered from the raids over 17 locations, including in the capital New Delhi, as the group prepped for striking several targets ahead of the high profile Republic Day national event on January 26.
"They were at an advanced stage of carrying a series of blasts," Mittal told news hounds at a presser in New Delhi.
Mittal said the group had attempted to make vests and developed a home-made rocket launcher, adding the unknown criminal mastermind of the module was based in PakistainDubai abroad.
One of the accused is an engineer, he said.
Authorities have previously claimed to have foiled similar ISIS-inspired cells but there is no evidence of the krazed killer group's presence in the country.
But India's security agencies have voiced concern over the radicalization of men over the internet.
In 2014, a group of four Mumbai engineering students travelled to Iraq to join the group. One of them later returned to India.
But some activists have accused security agencies of falsely charging Moslem men for terrorism, due to discrimination against the community in the Hindu-majority country of 1.25 billion people.

[IsraelTimes] Soldiers shoot, wound assailant at bus stop near military base; three Israelis suffer panic attacks, but nobody physically hurt.
A Paleostinian attempted to carry out a car-ramming attack against a group of Israeli soldiers and civilians in the northern West Bank on Wednesday afternoon, authorities said, with IDF troops opening fire and injuring the attacker.
The suspect attempted to run over a group of people waiting at a bus stop at a junction outside Nablus, near a military base, according to the military and the Samaria Regional Council.
Soldiers at the scene shot at the assailant ‐ named later by the official Paleostinian Authority news agency Wafa as 35-year-old Raed Dhiab from Kafr Qallil ‐ who was taken to hospital in moderate condition.
No Israelis were physically hurt in the attempted attack, although the Samaria Regional Council spokesperson said three people ‐ two women and a man ‐ suffered panic attacks and underwent treatment.
"He was driving slowly and suddenly sped up toward us," said eyewitness Emunah Mevorach, 23, who said the car had tried to maneuver between columns placed next to the bus stop to prevent such attacks. "The soldier shot many bullets and we ran behind a concrete block. The soldier’s reaction saved us."
There has been an uptick in West Bank terror attacks this month, leading to the death of two IDF soldiers and a baby born prematurely after his mother was seriously maimed. At least ten other civilians and soldiers have been injured in the string of attacks.
[IsraelTimes] The military announces that several days ago it found an additional cross-border tunnel from Leb, near the town of Ayta ash Shab on the other side of the border.
It says in a statement that the tunnel was "neutralized using an kaboom."
The statement says that UNIFIL, the UN force that has been charged with keeping the peace at the border since the end of the 2006 Second Leb War, has been informed about the tunnel, as have "other relevant authorities."
It says it holds the Lebanese government responsible for the "blatant violation" of UN Resolution 1701, which ended the Second Leb War.
The tunnel is apparently the fifth found by Israeli forces since the launch of Operation Northern Shield earlier this month.
The objective of the ongoing operation is to find and destroy tunnels that Israel alleges were dug into its territory by the Hezbollah terror group in order to carry out attacks in a future war.
