The video in question is an old one from 2009, showing a US military helicopter seeking for terrorists. It is unrelated to the current turmoil in Pakistan.
Conclusion:
Claim : The false allegations that Pakistani defence forces are targeting BLA terrorists in Turbat, Balochistan, are based on a video depicting four people walking around in an open area while being targeted.
Fact : The fact is that this is an old video of US military helicopter targeting terrorists in 2009. It has nothing to do with the ongoing unrest in Pakistan.
