ISI spread sectarianism and terrorism in Gilgit Baltistan

Gilgit Baltistan, October 21, 2014: Constant attempts are being made by the Pakistan backed government to stoke sectarianism and spread terrorism in Gilgit Baltistan, where recently a blast took place in a Van in Gilgit city, causing the death of 3 passengers, and injury of few other, and damage to property. As expected, the police remained clueless and could not reach any logical conclusion. No arrests have been made, thus far. What is clear is that the blast took place on the auspicious day of Eid to create a wedge between the two Shia and Sunni communities. Oct 21, 2014
