Two hurt in passenger train attack
2006-10-28
Tribal insurgents shot at a passenger train in Balochistan on Thursday, injuring two people, officials said. The rebels opened machinegun fire from surrounding mountains when the Rawalpindi-bound Quetta Express reached Mashkaf town, 100 kilometres south of the provincial capital Quetta, a railway official said. "The miscreants attacked the passenger train with light and heavy machineguns and wounded two people. According to reports one of the passengers received serious injuries," the official said on condition of anonymity. The militants also launched two rockets but they did not hit the train, the official added.

#1  I have this mental image of the western train crossing the prairie, the indians attack the train, and every window opens as the cowboys riding get needed target practice.
Result, much fewer indians to hit the next train.

Now simply transfer this whole scenario to India and watch the train attacks abruptly cease.

What? No Guns Allowed?
Idiots.
