QUETTA: Senator Dr Malik Baloch, chief of the National Party, called on Sunday for a UN probe into the murder of three Baloch leaders.

Addressing a press conference in Panjgur, Dr Malik alleged that the plot to kill Baloch leaders had been hatched in Islamabad.

NP’s senior vice-president Mir Hasil Bizenjo, Secretary-general Tahir Bizenjo and senior party leader Kachkol Ali Baloch also attended the press conference.

The NP chief alleged that intelligence agencies had murdered Ghulam Mohammad, Lala Munir and Sher Mohammad after arresting them.

He said the elements who had assassinated Nawab Akbar Bugti were also behind the Turbat incident. Describing the killings as state terrorism, Dr Malik criticised President Asif Ali Zardari’s statement that intelligence agencies were not involved in the killing.
