QUETTA: One of the most wanted terrorist leaders in Balochistan, Muhammad Asa, also known as Mullah Ibrahim, has been killed in a clash between rival terrorist groups. According to reports gathered by MM news from local sources, the deadly confrontation erupted over a dispute regarding the division of extorted money.
The killing of Muhammad Asa is considered a significant blow to the Baloch Liberation Front (BLF) and is the result of internal tensions within the organization. The confrontation unfolded when two factions of the BLF engaged in a fierce exchange of gunfire over a dispute of extortion and ransom funds. As a result, Muhammad Asa, who carried a bounty of Rs4 million placed on his head by law enforcement agencies, fell victim to the violent clash.
Reports suggest Muhammad Asa had joined the ranks of the BLF in 2010 and quickly rose to become a leader, operating primarily in the Kharan and Shor areas. Throughout his tenure, he was involved in orchestrating numerous acts of terrorism, targeting workers involved in development projects, Iranian containers, and security forces. In addition to his involvement in acts of violence, the deceased terrorist leader possessed expertise in the construction of improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
Multiple cases had been registered against Muhammad Asa in various parts of Balochistan, highlighting his extensive criminal activities and the threat he posed to regional security. However, his demise comes as a result of infighting within his own organization, underlining the deep-seated rivalries and divisions among terrorist groups operating in the region.
