When they catch them with certain number of explosive material and military grade weapons how does media calls them suspected militants. They were obviously not selling ice-cream.

Let me tell you about your average street criminal. The average criminal believes he will not be caught by police.
The Italian-American Mafia does things differently. They plan to make certain when they commit a crime they won't be caught.
Sort of in the same mold as Azir Baloch. The Mafiaosi also are protected when they do get caught.

Rather the symptome than the root of the problem are adressed, as usual. Their fellow Taliban comrades will call them martyrs and carry on with buisiness as usual.
