free balochistan?

This article, written by Ralph Peters, was published in US Armed Forces Journal in June 2006 and it shows a geographic picture of Middle East after 50 years.

The map shows NWFP as part of Afghanistan and Balochistan as a free country. I am not sure what exactly will happen after 50 years but the killing of Nawab Akbar Bugti (repercussions of which we will have to wait and see) will no doubt facilitate the ongoing insurgency.

Not that I am a fan of late Mr. Bugti but Free Balochistan movement needed a martyr and, thanks to Musharraf, now they have one.
