Quetta:
The hijacked train in Balochistan has been rescued and all the terrorists have been killed, the Pakistani army has given this information. Meanwhile, the BLA commander issued a voice message in the media saying, ‘The Pakistani army has surrounded him. Firing and firing are taking place. Ask for our group. The Jafar Express train near Bolan district of Balochistan was hijacked by BLA extremists. On Tuesday, Charpamanthis attacked the Jafar Express near the Mashkaf tunnel, about 157 km from Quetta and took over 400 passengers, including a large number of security personnel, hostage. The responsibility of this attack was taken by the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA).
Information is being received from the Pakistan Army that they have made the train free. But at the same time it is also being told that Balochistan Liberation Army fighters have taken many people with them to the hill area. Therefore, the operation of this Pakistani Army has not been completed yet. The Pakistan Army is now engaged in freeing those hostages, who have taken BLA fighters with them. Also, information is also coming out that the Pakistan Army has killed 27 BLA fighters.
BLA wants independence of Balochistan. This is the largest of many ethnic rebel groups, which has fought the government of Pakistan for decades. The organization says that the government is improperly exploiting Balochistan’s rich gas and mineral resources. The BLA has been declared a terrorist organization by Pakistan, Iran, China, United Kingdom, United States, United States, European Union. Balochistan is the largest province in Pakistan. It is considered to be ground-economic and geopolitically very important, yet it remains disturbed. Balochistan is considered rich in natural resources. Despite this, he is left behind in the race of development.
This is the first time the BLA or any militant group in Balochistan province resorted to ‘hijack’ passenger train, although last year they increased the attacks on security forces, establishments and foreigners in various parts of the province. Security sources said that it is not yet clear how many militants were involved in the attack, but some of them were using satellite phones to stay in contact with their masters.
In the last one year in Balochistan, there has been an increase in militant attacks. In November last year, a suicide bomber blew himself up by a suicide bomb at Quetta railway station in which 26 people were killed and 62 others were injured. After this, the Railways postponed many services.
