Islamabad: 152 people are on a plane that has crashed near Islambabad in
the Margalla Hills. Civil aviation officials say it's unlikely that there
are any survivors.

The plane, a commercial Airbus belonging to Airblue, a private airline, was
flying to Islamabad via Karachi. Thick black smoke can be seen rising from
