PAKISTANI authorities said today that an insurgent attack on a train carrying hundreds of passengers has ended, with all attackers killed following a standoff in which some of the hostages taken lost their lives.
Security officials said over 300 hostages had been rescued but gave no details about those killed.
The separatists attacked the train carrying about 450 people on Tuesday in a tunnel in a remote part of south-western Balochistan province.
