Terrorists' use of women, children as 'human shields' slowing down Bolan train's day-long rescue operation
At least 27 terrorists who hijacked train killed; 155 passengers rescued; security forces vow to eliminate all terrorists
Security forces continue their operation against terrorists, who have hijacked the Jaffar Express in Balochistan's Bolan district, as suicide bombers have taken women and children hostage, making the rescue effort increasingly difficult, security sources said on Wednesday.
Militants blew up a railway track, opened fire, and hijacked the train — which was on a 30-hour-long journey carrying around 400 passengers — on Tuesday as it travelled from Quetta to Peshawar.
