  On 14 December 2006, BLA militants launched six rockets at a paramilitary camp in Balochistan's Kohlu District that then President Pervez Musharraf was visiting. Though Musharraf's life was not endangered, the Pakistani government labeled the attack an attempt on his life and initiated a sweeping army operation.
  
  On 14 June 2009, masked gunmen shot dead Anwar Baig, a school teacher in Kalat. Baig had opposed recitation of the Baloch anthem in schools. The killing was part of a larger campaign against educators who were seen to be sympathetic to the Pakistani state. On 30 July, BLA militants kidnapped 19 Pakistani police in Sui, killed one and injured 16. Over the course of three weeks all but one of the kidnapped officers were killed by their captors.
  
  In 2010, Nazima Talib, a female assistant professor at the University of Balochistan in Quetta was murdered. BLA claimed responsibility. The reason for the murder was that Talib was ethnically Punjabi, and she had refused to bribe the BLA. The BLA also wanted her to leave Balochistan. Talib's acquaintances also said that she had eight years of duty remaining at the university, so she did not want to leave.
  
  On 14 August, BLA militants killed six laborers and wounded three others on their way home from work in the Khilji area of Quetta.
