Hostages who survived being held hostage by separatist militants in Pakistan on a hijacked train recalled their \u2018terrifying\u2019 ordeal. \u2018As soon as the explosion happened, armed men stormed the train,\u2019 said Arslan Yousaf, one of those rescued. \u2018They had launchers, guns and other weapons, and they immediately started firing – shooting directly at people. They kept shouting: :We will kill anyone who doesn\u2019t come out\u201d.\u2019<\/p>\n

Pakistani security forces stormed the train on Wednesday and killed all 33 separatist militants, ending a daylong standoff, according to the military. The hijacking took place as the train, which was carrying about 450 passengers, was travelling through a tunnel in the rugged mountains of Balochistan province on Tuesday afternoon<\/p>\n
