Something wrong?About this person
He was arrested on 9 December 1979, while he was a student at Government Degree College Turbat, on charges of firing at a military officer from the Gulf state of Oman. The Omani military officer was recruiting Pakistani Baloch soldiers from Balochistan province to suppress the Dhofar Rebellion. Oman at the time was facing a Marxist-Leninist insurgency in its Dhofar province. Ever since Oman first took control of the enclave of Gwadar in Balochistan in the 18th century it had hired foot soldiers from the region to serve in the Sultan of Oman's Armed Forces. Oman ceded sovereignty over Gwadar to Pakistan in 1958.
