Four alleged facilitators of the March 11 terrorist attack on the Jaffar Express near the Bolan district of Balochistan were taken into custody by the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD), according to sources familiar with the case on Tuesday.
According to CTD sources, investigations into the terrorist attack on the passenger train were in progress, and they and other authorities were attempting to track down and identify the perpetrators.
According to the sources, forensic investigation was done on weapons and other communication equipment that were found on the dead terrorists.
Over 440 people were taken hostage during a day-long standoff with security authorities in a remote mountain pass in the Bolan district after the banned Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) blew up rail tracks during the attack on the Jaffar Express.
