US blocks Pak-China's joint bid to list Baloch Liberation Army as terror group at UN
The US has blocked Pakistan and China's joint bid to get Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), and its suicide wing Majeed Brigade, listed as terrorist entities at UNSC. The US, joined by UK and France, cited insufficient evidence to link BLA to al-Qaeda and ISIL as reason behind blocking the move. Last month, US designated BLA as Foreign Terrorist Organisation.
