Moderate tremor jolts northern Pakistan
2005-12-26
ISLAMABAD - An aftershock measuring 5.2 on the Richter Scale jolted northern Pakistan on Sunday, causing panic among tens of thousands of survivors of the devastating October 8 earthquake.

It was the latest of more than 1,500 aftershocks that have rocked the region since more than 73,000 people were killed and 3.5 million made homeless in Pakistan’s worst natural disaster.
Sorry Fred, no Unitarians amongst them yet. Should we turn the dial to '7'?
The tremor, which was felt at 13:02 (0902 GMT), originated in the same area where the October earthquake caused havoc, siesmological chief Qamaruz Zaman told AFP. He said the epicenter was in the Hazara region, 80 kilometers (50 miles) northwest of the capital Islamabad. “Such aftershocks will continue for another two months,” Zaman said, adding that there was little likelihood of any damage from the latest jolt.
