The army on Friday traced a strong nexus between India, the terrorist group and its handlers operating from Afghanistan via satellite phones behind the hijacking of Jaffer Express.

The DG ISPR commended the Pakistan Army, Special Services Group, Law Enforcement Agencies and FC for conducting the operation with utmost precision and caution. He mentioned that not a single causality happened during the conduct of the operation. He said some passengers were martyred before the launch of the operation by the security forces.

Pak foreign office had claimed that BLA rebels involved in attack on Jaffar Express were in contact with ring leaders in Afghanistan.
