As Pakistan struggles to contain a decades-old separatist insurgency in Balochistan, militants have once again unleashed a reign of terror in the southwestern province.

Gunmen attacked police stations, railway lines and vehicles on highways in the restive region on August 25-26, killing at least 38 civilians, mostly from Pakistan’s Punjab province, in what is seen as the most widespread assault by ethnic insurgents in years.
