A video of the attack and hijack of the Peshawar-bound Jaffar Express by Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) in Pakistan's Bolan district was released on Wednesday evening amidst the ongoing military operation to free the hostages. The said footage that demonstrated how the hijack took place was reportedly released by the Hakkal Media which is considered as the mouthpiece of the separatist BLA.
The viral video showed an explosion happening near the locomotive intended to bring it to a halt in the middle of nowhere. As the blast served its purpose, forcing the loco pilot to apply breaks, the video showed BLA fighters emerging from their hideouts and taking control of the train. Hostages were seen being lined outside in the open by the BLA insurgents, who clearly had split them into separate groups.
