ISLAMABAD: A vast Chinese-funded infrastructure project in Pakistan has become a major trigger for separatist insurgents, galvanising their movement as they employ new tactics - including suicide attacks - in an escalation that could rattle Beijing, observers say.
The BLA has attacked the Chinese in Pakistan before, said analyst Michael Kugelman of the Washington-based Wilson Center. For years the Pakistani military maintained a crushing grip on the insurgency, while brushing off accusations of serious rights abuses. With positions hardening on both sides, one result is the relatively new phenomenon for Baloch separatists of suicide attacks, such as in the Karachi consulate attack.
