Armed militants took more than 450 train passengers hostage and wounded the train driver in an attack on Tuesday in Pakistan's southwestern Balochistan province, officials said.

In a statement claiming the assault, the banned outfit Baloch Liberation Army said gunmen bombed the railway track and took control of the train in the remote Sibi district.
