ISLAMABAD, July 30 (Reuters): The United Nations has scaled back operations temporarily in Pakistan's southwestern Baluchistan province after receiving a threat from a separatist movement, a spokesman said Thursday.
The Baluch Liberation United Front (BLUF) warned Sunday, in a telephone to a Pakistani news agency office in the provincial capital of Quetta, that UN staff would be targeted unless they left Baluchistan.
