In 2025, the BLA also took credit for hijacking the Jaffar Express, an attack that left 31 people dead and over 300 passengers taken hostage.
The State Department said adding these groups to the terror list is part of America’s firm resolve to fight terrorism, block financial and logistical support to militants, and deliver a major blow to the “Fitna al-Hindustan” network.
