Baluchistan is important for US but for very different reasons firstly its borders are shared on one side with Afghanistan's Pakhtun region which is predominantly a hub of Taliban and secondly with Iran, a strong opponent of US ,where a lot baluch people live . Thirdly US think that Talibans and Al-Qaeda may be there or trying to get hold there. They suspect that there may be Quetta Shura like thing or may be Mulla Omer could be found there but no body knows whether these propositions are true or not. Americans want strong presence there to keep an eye on both the sides therefore they are often found visiting there and developing relation with locals.It has therefore of great geopolitical importance for US .
