Baloch nationalist leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti was killed in an explosion in a cave, where he had taken refuge, on August 26, 2006 during a military crackdown ordered by Musharraf who was president and army chief at the time.
Bugti had led an armed campaign to press for provincial autonomy and a greater share of profits from Balochistan’s natural resources.
The death of the Baloch chieftain sparked angry protests in parts of the country.
