Pakistani tourists are missing
Let me tell you that every year hundreds of climbers try to climb the mountains in northern Pakistan and accidents are common due to avalanche and sudden weather change. The region has also received more seasonal rainfall than normal, causing sudden floods and landslides. Since last week, at least 20 Pakistani tourists are missing after the northern district was swept away by flood waters. (AP)
