Pakistan Army Helicopter Crashes: 13 killed

Pakistani army helicopter crashes


A Pakistani army helicopter has crashed into mountains in the north of the country, killing 13 people.
The M-17 helicopter was on a routine flight in the Astore region, about 260 kilometres (160 miles) from the capital, Islamabad, when it went down, military officials said.

A spokesman for the armed forces, Saulat Raza, said there were no survivors amongst those on board.

"An inquiry has been ordered to ascertain the cause of the accident," he said.


Pakistan's air force chief died in a Fokker-27 in February
Brigadier Raza told the BBC that 11 bodies had been recovered so far.

Helicopters are frequently used in the region as roads are often inaccessible.

In February the commander of Pakistan's air force, Air Chief Marshal Mushaf Ali Mir, was killed along with his wife and a number of officials when their Fokker-27 aircraft crashed in the north-west of the country.

There are several air force bases in north-western Pakistan, which were used during anti-Soviet operations in the 1980s and also for continuing US-led operations in Afghanistan.

Not surprising since the MI-17 has a capacity of 30 troops.

Never too late for those who died for their nation.
1 year or 30 years.

Pakistan army accused of abuses
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/3687526.stm

Pakistani troops killed by mines
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/3697084.stm

"Never too late for those who died for their nation.
1 year or 30 years."
