[GEO.TV] A day after the successful rescue operation, the Foreign Office said on Thursday that India was behind the deadly terrorist attack on the Jaffar Express, adding that it was orchestrated by the leadership of a terrorist organization based abroad.

FO spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan, addressing his weekly briefing in Islamabad, said that the rescue operation for the Jaffar Express attack has been completed, and intelligence suggests that the holy warriors were in contact with their associates in Afghanistan.

Liberation Army (BLA) holy warriors who had hijacked the Jaffar Express which was carrying more than 400 passengers — who were taken hostage.

The military has said that all hostages have been freed, but 21 passengers were martyred by the holy warriors before the clearance operation had commenced. Also, four FC personnel were also martyred during the attack in the Mushqaf area of the Bolan district.

The Foreign Office spokesperson added that intercepted calls confirmed links between the attackers and Afghanistan. "The holy warriors have safe havens in Afghanistan, and Pakistain has repeatedly urged the Afghan interim government to prevent groups like the BLA from using its soil for terrorism," he said.

He also mentioned that Pakistain does not discuss diplomatic contacts on public forums but has consistently shared detailed evidence of such incidents with Afghanistan.
