      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330408711/jaffar-express-attack-fingerprints-to-help-identify-attackers</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Investigations into the terrorist attack on the Jaffar Express in Quetta are ongoing, with the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) working alongside other agencies to track down the attackers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Officials claim they will soon identify the perpetrators.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to CTD sources, forensic analysis is being conducted on the terrorists’ weapons and communication devices.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fingerprints of the attackers have been sent to the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) for identification.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Additionally, the terrorists’ body parts have been sent to the Forensic Science Agency for further examination.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CTD reports that the attack resulted in the deaths of 26 passengers and left 40 others injured. Security forces responded with a counter-operation, eliminating 33 attackers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Officials have confirmed the casualties, and further details will be disclosed once the investigation is complete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The attack, carried out on March 11 by the banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), saw terrorists taking passengers hostage aboard the Jafar Express. A two-day operation by security forces led to the killing of all 33 terrorists.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On March 14, Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif confirmed that a total of 26 passengers lost their lives in the attack, while 354 hostages were rescued, including 37 injured individuals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Among the martyred, 18 were from the Army and Frontier Corps, three were railway and government employees, and five were civilians.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pakistan Army spokesperson Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif accused India of being the primary sponsor of terrorism in Pakistan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He highlighted that, following the Jafar Express attack, Indian media engaged in propaganda, using AI-generated fake videos to manipulate the narrative and showcase terrorist propaganda to the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to ISPR, the terrorists remained in constant contact with their handlers in Afghanistan throughout the attack.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the morning of March 12, Pakistani forces targeted the terrorists using snipers. Amid the counterattack, a group of hostages managed to escape and was rescued by FC personnel, while some were tragically shot by the terrorists.&lt;/p&gt;
