Last month an unidentified body was found in a Swedish river. It has since been identified as Sajid Hussain, a Pakistani journalist exiled in Sweden.
Sajid Hussain, 39, went missing on March 2. He was last seen getting onto a train in Stockholm en route to Uppsala to pick up keys for his new apartment. He had been studying Arabic and lecturing at Uppsala University since January this year.
However, according to Reporters Without Borders (RSF), Mr Hussain never got off the train. It was suspected he was abducted “at the behest of a Pakistani intelligence agency”.

Swedish police believe there was foul play after an investigation and said they are “still waiting for a few more answers”.
Hussain’s reporting on government corruption, disappearances and human rights violations made him a controversial figure in Pakistan. Police raided his house, and he began receiving anonymous death threats. Eventually, he left Pakistan in 2012 for Europe.
Hussain was the former editor and publisher of the paper, Balochistan Times. After his death Balochistan Times released a statement which read:
“Staff are deeply saddened by the demise of our dear friend and the founder of this magazine. As a journalist, (Hussain) was compassionate and wrote extensively on the suffering of the Baloch people. His work often got him into trouble as the authorities did not like his reporting of Balochistan’s forbidden stories, the reason he had to leave and live in exile.”
The failure of the West in Syria has put most of their self-defence-forces (called by various names: Al-Qaida, ISIS, ISIL, Moderates, Al-Nusra etc.) in mortal existential danger. They are being re-located and preserved in a semi-no-man’s land for future use against either Iran or Russia. That no-man’s land is Balochistan. And the future regime being aligned by the Anglo-American lobby to train these terrorists or the so called self-defense forces – is India.
