Earthquake shakes northern Pakistan
2006-03-14
A moderate earthquake has shaken parts of northern Pakistan devastated by a catastrophic tremor last October, but there were no immediate reports of damage or casualties. The 5.2 magnitude quake had its epicentre in the Hindu Kush mountain range in Afghanistan, about 300 kilometres north of the Pakistani city of Peshawar, Pakistan's Meteorological Office says.

The quake was felt in Peshawar, as well as in the towns of Dir, Chitral, Mansehra as well as the capital Islamabad, it says. Mansehra and Islamabad both suffered damage in the catastrophic 7.6 magnitude earthquake that hit northern Pakistan on October 8, killing more than 73,000 people. More than 1,750 aftershocks have been recorded since then and meteorological officials expect more will be felt until May. On Friday, an aftershock measuring 5.2 killed one man and injured 16 people in Pakistani Kashmir, one of the regions worst hit by the October disaster.

#1  It would be interesting if this long series of earthquakes and the drift adjustment that caused the tsunami were all do the the Pak-Indian underground nuke dual beginning the release of some stuck slipage spots.

Anyway it would make a great novel plot.... oh wait... Lex Luther did it in Superman 1.
