Massive Pakistan quake kills thousands in Northern villages
The weekend earthquake near Pattan in the Karakoram Mountains killed about 4,700 people and injured around 15,000 in nine villages. Senior officers expect the toll to rise as reports arrive from remote areas north of Pattan. Army crews worked through the night pulling bodies, treating the injured, and airlifting survivors while blankets and tents were hampered by a severed Karakoram Highway.
