- Baluch People's Liberation Front
Baluch People's Liberation Front, also known as Baluch Awami Azadi Mahaiz or BPLF, was founded in the 1973 and supported by Iraq and the Soviet Union and its aim was the independence of Balochistan. Mehrullah Mengal was commander of the group and trained the group for many attacks. In 1979, thousands of Balochis were trained in Afghanistan for attacks, while it was under Soviet occupation. BPLF is still active but most of its members are underground. Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine trained some of BPLF men in Beirut. Baluch People's Liberation Front also received support from the Afghan and Indian authorities.
