Balochi

There has been conflict ever since, fuelled by Balochi demands for a greater share of the proceeds from their vast mineral wealth, notably gas reserves in the Sui area in central Balochistan.

Earlier this year, the man appeared at a hearing in Berlin speaking a language—Balochi—for which a translator wasn’t available, the interior minister said.

De Maizière said there had been problems questioning him in the past because no translator could be found who spoke Balochi.

Many prisoners have been put to death for terror offences, including three Balochi insurgents who hijacked a passenger plane in 1998.

Tweeters such as Balochi were classified as "disseminators" – individuals who, although not officially affliliated to an organisation, were profoundly influential in spreading support for foreign fighters alongside recruiting them.
