If you have read this hijack, check this new one:

A speeding electric suburban commuter train, suspected to have been “hijacked” by unidentified persons, rammed a goods train early this morning, killing four persons, including two of the suspected “hijackers”, and leaving 11 others injured, five in serious condition.

The crash, which took place at Vyasarpadi Jeeva station shortly before 5 am, sounded alarm bells across the railway and security establishments, fuelling rumours aplenty — the handiwork of LTTE sympathisers, a terror strike or simply an act of sabotage. Railway officials pointed out that had the incident taken place during rush hour, the casualty figures could have been very high.
