How did Bla execute the attack?
The Jaffer Express from Quetta of Pakistan left for Peshawar at around 9 am on Tuesday morning. This train was to reach Sibbi at 1.30 pm. But Boln’s mashfaq tunnel was attacked. Where the train was passing, it is a mountainous area. There are 17 tunnels here, due to which the speed of the train had to be slowed, taking advantage of which the BLA blew up tunnel number-8 in the suggestion. Due to this, the train became disgusted and the train was hijacked.
This attack was carried out by BLA with complete planning. Bla’s fighters were already sitting ambush. For the attack, Bla prepared its deadliest fighters Majeed Brigade and Fateh.
The terrorists were divided into two groups due to the operation of the Pakistani army. The BLA rebels hijacked the Jafar Express train in the Mashkaf Tunnel. This tunnel is 157 km from Quetta. The area in which this tunnel is is a very inaccessible hill area, whose nearest station is Paharo Kunri. The hijacked train was standing at the Bolon Pass. This entire area is surrounded by hills and tunnels.
Balochistan is the most disturbed province in Pakistan. There has been a conflict between Baloch and Pakistani army since 1948. The people of Balochistan are demanding separation from Pakistan. In the past, China has increased in this area. China is working on many projects in this area, due to which they are also being attacked continuously.
