“I can’t find words to tell how we managed to escape. It was terrible, “Bilal told AFP.
Another free hostage, Allahditta recited terror again as the blisters brought a storm in the train after the explosion.

Fortunately, 49 -year -old Alladitta and his family were abandoned by the rebels due to their heart condition.
“I heard an explosion, after which the rebels rode in the train and opened fire. People started hiding under seats in panic. They separated men from women. He let me and my family go because I told them that I am a heart patient, “Allahditta said.
“We walked through the mountains for a long time to reach the nearest station. I have not eaten since I started fasting this morning, but I still cannot bring myself to eat, “he said.
Checked ID
To verify the identity of those from outside the province of Balochistan, BLA gunmen checked the ID card.
One passenger told AFP: “They checked the ID and service card and shot two soldiers in front of me and took the other four, I do not know where. He investigated the ID and was taken by the terrorists who were Punjabis. ,
Rescue operation is going on
Pakistan’s security sources said on Wednesday that they had freed 155 hostages from about 450 passengers, while 27 terrorists were killed.
According to an AFP report quoting the security source, “security forces have safely rescued 155 passengers … 27 terrorists have been abolished.”
The operation was still “running”, it was added.
A security officer in the area told AFP, “Information shows that some terrorists have fled, taking out the unknown number of hostages in local mountainous areas.”
The rebels bombed a part of the railway track and a storm in the train in the South -West Balochistan province on Tuesday afternoon, which is on the borders of Iran and Afghanistan, where the attacks by separatists have increased rapidly in the last one year.
The AFP report states that 80 of the released passengers were taken to Quetta under “tight security”.
