by | Sep 18, 2025

Reports from local sources in Afghanistan confirm the death of a key Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) commander in a covert operation in Helmand province. Rahman Gul, also known by the alias Ustad Mureed, was the second-in-command of the BLA’s Majeed Brigade, a group known for its high-profile attacks and terrorist activities.

According to the reports, unknown individuals successfully carried out a targeted operation, resulting in the elimination of Gul. His death is a significant development in the ongoing efforts to counter terrorism in the region, as he was a key figure in multiple terrorist incidents. Gul was the designated mastermind of the deadly Jaffar Express attack and was also linked to assaults targeting Chinese nationals.

The elimination of such a high-value target is a major blow to the operational capabilities of the Majeed Brigade. It sends a clear message that those responsible for acts of terrorism will be pursued and held accountable, regardless of their location. This development underscores the complex and volatile nature of the security landscape in the region, where a variety of state and non-state actors operate.

This event is expected to contribute to a greater level of security for both local populations and international projects, reaffirming the resolve to bring peace and stability to the region by dismantling the networks of those who seek to disrupt it.
