'''Bugti Militia''' was a militant group formed in Dera Bugti, Balochistan by Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti in 1952. The group believed in Baloch nationalism and fought for autonomy and more economic and political rights. The group took an active part in the 1960s and 1970s Insurgencies in Balochistan. However, it lost most of its fighters in Pakistani military operations and some of the surviving fighters went underground.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Jongman |first=Albert J. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NgDks1hUjhMC&q=Baluchistan+liberation+army |title=Political Terrorism: A New Guide To Actors, Authors, Concepts, Data Bases, Theories, And Literature |date=1988 |publisher=Transaction Publishers |isbn=978-1-4128-1566-6 |language=en}}</ref>
