A plot by Fitna Al-Hindustan to use women for terrorist activities in Balochistan has been exposed, after two women accused of involvement in the Nokkundi bombing spoke publicly about their activities, according to media reports.  Khadija Pir Jan and Safiya Abdul Khaliq, who were recovered from the militant group, told a press conference that terrorists had influenced them against the country. They said security agencies had recovered them safely and returned them to their families. Khadija Pir Jan said her husband had been linked to a terrorist organisation and was killed in 2022. She said militants had influenced her against the country and that she became involved in the Nokkundi bombing.

She said the security agencies treated them with dignity and safely handed them over to their families. Khadija also apologised to the Baloch people for the actions she had taken. Safiya told the media that she had been taken from Quetta and that the militants had given her a mobile phone to maintain contact with them. She said the terrorists had asked her to become a suicide bomber. She added that she was taught how to drive a vehicle for a planned suicide attack. Safiya said the security agencies had recovered both her and Khadija safely and returned them to their families. The statements by the two women highlighted allegations that the group had sought to recruit and train women for terrorist activities in Balochistan.
