Following the October 6, 2024 attack in Karachi, the banned Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) disclosed the name of its newly established intelligence and analysis division that has boosted its violent capabilities. What is this unit called?

Explanation

The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) intensified its violent activities, as seen during the August 26 attacks on Balochistan's highways. This escalation hinted at the formation of a specialized unit enhancing their operations. After the October 6 Karachi attack, the BLA revealed that this strength came from 'Zirab,' their intelligence and analysis wing created about eighteen months prior. The term 'Zirab' means 'underwater' in Persian and Balochi, symbolizing the covert nature of the unit, and is also the name of a city in Iran. This naming highlights the BLA's strategic intent behind branding its intelligence division.
