#1 There is no evidence that the Bugtis had anything to do with this.
Given it was an attack on a Sufi shrine, it is more likely to be Lashkar-e-Jhangvi or some other sectarian fascist group.

#2 Oh, darn. Not that I'll apologize to that band of cutthroats, but I do hate being wrong.

#6 The Bugtis probably have enough problems with the stuff they are guilty of without being blamed for everything else.

And stop and think: how can you blame them? If you were part of Pakistan, wouldn't you be trying to secede too?
