Over a hundred hostages have been freed after armed rebels hijacked a train carrying over 400 passengers in Pakistan's restive Balochistan region yesterday. The government said at least 16 rebels have been killed in a firefight with the forces.
The security forces managed to rescue 104 hostages, including men and women, after a heavy gunfire with the rebels, news agency PTI reported.
The gunfight continued overnight and it's not clear how many hostages remained on board Jaffar Express.
