Passenger plane crashes in hills near Pakistan capital
A plane has crashed in hills north of the Pakistani capital, Islamabad.
Police said it was an Airblue flight to Islamabad via Karachi, with more than
150 people on board.
It crashed in the Margalla Hills to the north of the city, and Pakistani
television showed images of foggy, rainy hillside with helicopters flying
overhead.
A huge rescue effort has been launched.
"There is smoke, but we have not been able to reach there. It is surrounded
by the hills and there is no road access," police official Sayed Subhan told
the AFP news agency.
"There were 146 passengers and six crewmen on board. We are gathering
information. We have no more details," Mubarik Shah, spokesman of the
state-run Civil Aviation Authority, told the Reuters news agency.
Initial reports said the flight originated in Turkey, but this has not been
confirmed.
