QUETTA, Pakistan - Suspected tribal insurgents on Thursday attacked a passenger train with a rocket and small arms fire in the restive southwestern Pakistani province of Baluchistan, causing train services in the region to be suspended, an official said.
The attack came near Mach, some 65 kilometers (40 miles) south of Quetta, the provincial capital of Baluchistan, and damaged the engine but caused no casualties, railway official Javed Ahmed told AFP.
âQuetta Express was coming from the eastern city of Lahore towards Quetta when a rocket and small arms fire hit it,â he said.
âWe have suspended train services in the region for the time being,â Ahmed said, adding that an engine had been sent to bring the train, which is sheltering in a tunnel, to Quetta.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
