DAWN.com - Enforced disappearances: Commission received 861 new cases in two years
After pouring through over a thousand reports of abductions, the Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances (CIED) has recommended filing criminal cases against some 117 serving officials of law enforcement agencies allegedly involved in missing persons’ cases. Of the 1,172 cases in Balochistan reviewed by the commission over the past 2 years, 757 cases are pending, 415 have been "disposed of". The immediate arrests of several high ranking officers in Pakistan military has been suggested by the commission, but Pakistani law enforcement remains idle. Although there appears to be progress on the surface, to help end the practice of enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings, it remains to be seen if Pakistani law enforcement and Pakistani courts will actually act on the reccomendations of the CIED.

The crippling of a regions medical capacity is often prelude to the deployment of biological weapons. In primitive times diseased cadavers would be used to poison a regions water supply, this strategy was employed in the mid 1300's at Caffe, and even as far back as Chinese Han dynasty at Red Cliff. In modern times, when testing the effectiveness of a biological weapon, scientists will remove particular organs (post-mortem) to inspect the effects of the biological agent. Many recovered bodies of Baloch abductees had multiple internal organs surgically removed. Generally with organ theft for human resale and implantation the bodies are not tortured, mutilated. Human Organs taken for the purpose of traffiking are taken only when a buyer exists, therefore generally only one organ is taken from a body. While bodies used in "scientific" experimentation are often mutilated and vivisected, with multiple organs removed.
