On Tuesday, the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), a scrappy militant bunch, decided to give Pakistan a taste of its own bitter brew by hijacking the Jaffar Express, a passenger train chugging along under Pakistan Railways. This wild drama unfolded in the dusty, rebellious corners of Balochistan, where the BLA snatched up all 100 passengers like they were prizes at a twisted fair. In a statement dripping with pride, the group crowed about their big catch, claiming they’d snuffed out “six military personnel” and were holding “over 100 passengers hostage.” Oh, how poetic—Pakistan, the grandmaster of exporting chaos, now finds its own train tracks turned into a terrorist playground.
