Arrested Suicide Bomber Claims Baloch Women Coerced into Terrorism
A Baloch woman, Adila Baloch, who was arrested in Turbat (Pakistan) for plotting a suicide attack, has revealed that terrorists manipulate and blackmail Baloch women into carrying out such acts.
Speaking at a press conference in Quetta, Adila explained how she was deceived into joining terrorist groups through false promises. A qualified nurse working on a project with the World Health Organization, she shared her experience of being misled by extremist elements. "My role was to help people and save lives. Sadly, I was led astray by those who pushed me off the right path," she said.
Adila admitted that terrorists convinced her to carry out a suicide bombing without regard for the innocent lives that would be lost. "They filled me with false hopes of a better and happier life," she recounted, adding that once involved, she realized life in the mountains was filled with nothing but hardship.
She also noted that she wasn’t the only one manipulated by terrorists. "Other Baloch youth, both men and women, have been similarly brainwashed," she said, emphasizing that the idea of Baloch women willingly becoming suicide bombers was false.
"It’s all a lie. Terrorists use blackmail to force women into this. I’m living proof of that," she declared.
In a message to Baloch youth, Adila urged them not to repeat her mistakes. "These actions only lead to destruction. There's no gain from these activities," she warned, advising young people to inform their parents if they come across such individuals.
Adila Baloch’s arrest by security forces in Turbat has been praised as a significant success, highlighting the authorities' persistent efforts and effective intelligence operations. According to sources, Adila was working as a nurse at Turbat Teaching Hospital at the time of her arrest.
