One of three helicopters escorting President Gen. Pervez Musharraf crashed in Pakistan's portion of Kashmir on Monday, killing four people on board, but the president was unhurt, officials said. Army spokesman Maj. Gen. Waheed Arshad blamed a "technical fault" for the crash of the military helicopter and said Musharraf had already reached his destination when the accident occurred.Musharraf traveled to Kashmir on Monday to commemorate the second anniversary of the Oct. 8, 2005, earthquake that killed nearly 80,000 people. The helicopter crashed in Mujhoi, about 12 miles south of Muzaffarabad, the main town in Pakistan's portion of the disputed Himalayan territory. Posted by: Bobby 2007-10-08 |
