Amidst a brutal military operation in Baluchistan that has left tens of thousands of Baluch tribesmen displaced from their homes, Baluch resistance fighters have embarked on a hit-and-run operation targeting Punjabi interests.

A number of Punjbai school principals have been targeted all over the area-wise largest province, where the Baluch say they will welcome American troops to replace Pakistan army and U.S. oil corporations to do business after the U.S. recognizes Baluchistan as a legitimate entity.

Most of these teachers are Punjabi settlers who were never touched in Baluchistan prior to the extra judicial killing of former chief minister and governor of Baluchistan, Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti, by the Pakistan military, on August 26, 2006.

The army did not even allow a proper burial for the slain leader, whose grandson Nawab Brahamdagh Bugti is now one the key leaders against Pakistan military presence in Baluchistan.
