A hijacking in the Bolan district of Pakistan has sparked a tense dead end, the Baloutche Liberation Army (Bla) claiming responsibility and the warning of “deadly consequences” if the army intervenes. According to several media sources, the Bla has taken control of the Jaffar Express, which deployed through the Mashkaf and Dhadar regions of Bolan, and initially took approximately 450 passengers hostage.
“More than 100 members of Pakistani forces staff in our care,” said the Bla in a statement signed by spokesperson Jeeyand Baloch, adding that “Baloch’s Liberation Army has carried out a strategic operation in Mashkaf, Dhadar, Bolan, entering control of the Jaffar Express by deriving it.”
During the resistance, six Pakistani soldiers were killed. Black says that this has enabled the women, children and travelers Balouthes to land, leaving only members in active service of the Pakistani soldiers, the police, the anti -terrorist force (ATF) and intersifying intersecting (ISI) intelligence.
Local reports suggest that all of these security staff were heading for Punjab on leave. The Black Declaration warns that “if the occupying forces are trying a military intervention, all the hostages will be executed.”
The mission is led by the Fidayeen unit of BLA, Majeed Brigade, with operational support from Fateh Squad, Stos and Wing Intelligence known as Zirab. So far, there has been no official confirmation on the government’s response. However, reports indicate that attempts at military action are under study, given the serious threat to national security.
The diversion occurs in a context of other controversies in Pakistan: so -called diplomatic sorrows – like the Pakistani ambassador would have been refused entry to the United States – for domestic misfortunes on arrow prices of essential elements such as gas cylinders and milk. Sports disputes, such as the new row of the Champions Trophy Ceremony, also made the headlines. However, none of these problems overshadowed the immediate crisis surrounding the Jaffar Express.
The government has not yet published a full plan to resolve the dead end, leaving hundreds of lives suspended in balance.
