Pakistan security forces launched a "full-scale" operation on March 12, to rescue train passengers taken hostage by militants in the mountainous southwest. Militants bombed a section of the railway track and stormed the train on March 12 afternoon in southwest Balochistan province, where attacks by separatists have been on the rise.
