The Baloch Liberation Army has released a detailed video of the hijacking of the Jaffar Express in March, where the group bombed a remote railway track in mountainous southwest Balochistan and stormed a train with around 450 passengers on board.
The Baloch outfit dubbed the hijacking “Operation Darra-e-Bolan 2.0,” which unfolded in Bolan, located in Pakistan-occupied Balochistan. The attack came as a huge embarrassment for the Pakistani establishment, and the bodies of at least 25 people, including 21 hostages, were retrieved from the train hijack site.
