Lashkar-e-Balochistan (also LeB) is a militant group based in Pakistan's Balochistan province, which is agitating for Balochistan's national independence. The LeB became publicly known in 2012 after it claimed responsibility for several bombings in Lahore, Karachi and Quetta, killing or injuring several people.
