Two Killed in Pakistan Airforce Plane Crash
2014-06-04
[AnNahar] A Pakistain air force fighter plane crashed at a bus terminal on the outskirts of Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
on Tuesday, killing at least two people and injuring eight, officials said.

The incident happened in the Baldia Town district just west of Karachi, Pakistain's biggest city and commercial hub.

Pakistain air force jets frequently crash during training missions, with officials blaming technical faults.
"At least two people have died, one of them was the pilot of the aircraft," Sajid Sadozai, a senior police official, told AFP, adding the corpse count may rise.

He said two buses parked at the terminal were destroyed while another was damaged.

TV footage showed plumes of black smoke rising from the site as rescue teams rushed in.

An air force front man confirmed the crash and death of a pilot but could not give a cause for the incident.

The plane was described as a small fighter jet but its type is not yet known.
