The passenger told journalists on phone that while in transit, “he heard a loud bang. A bomb exploded.”
According to him, “the earth shook and within the twinkle of an eye, it was gunshots everywhere.”
He said passengers in the train who were about a thousand, fell on one another when the train derailed.
“The terrorists surrounded the coaches and shot sporadically.
“Many were wounded. Some were hit by bullets as the terrorists closed in, trying to infiltrate the coaches.
“As the confusion heightened, many ran into the bushes on both sides of the track. It was by the will of Allah that I survived,” he said.
