On Wednesday afternoon, the militant separatist group Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) shared a video showing the attack on the train southwest of Pakistan. In a statement, they also claim to have killed 50 hostages, reports Reuters. This figure is not verified by independent sources. Hundreds of people were taken hostage. The exact number is unclear. Earlier Wednesday, the authorities said that almost 200 hostages had been rescued in safety. It was Tuesday that around 70-80 bla-paratists blasted parts of the railway in Balutschistan Province southwest of Pakistan and hijacked the Jaffar Express train, which had hundreds of passengers. The hijackers must, among other things, kill the train driver. Wearing bomb foams, some should also have sat between the passengers. Pakistan has declared a state of emergency. Hundreds of security forces and special forces are involved in the rescue operation. Interested in foreign?
