The Pakistan insurgency behind a train hijacking and hostage crisis
A stunning train hijack and hostage crisis this week, in which hundreds of passengers were held for a day by suicide vest-clad separatists, has made clear the limits of Pakistan’s ambitions for the resource-rich province of Balochistan.
