The Baloch Liberation Army has “warned of severe consequences” if any attempt is made to rescue the hostages.
The group has “warned of severe consequences” if any attempt is made to rescue the hostages, according to AFP.
The Jaffar Express, with around 450 passengers on board in nine bogies, was on its way from Quetta in Pakistan’s southwestern Balochistan province to Peshawar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa when militants fired upon it.
“Over 450 passengers onboard are being held hostage by gunmen,” Muhammad Kashif, a senior railway government official in Quetta, the capital of the province, told AFP. “Passengers include women and children.”
Pakistan’s interior minister, Mohsin Naqvi, condemned the attack and said the government would not make any concessions to “beasts who fire on innocent passengers”.
