abstract
  • Official accounts state 26 soldiers as dead in the incident, but other sources put the toll at 41 people on board, all of them being killed, including 19 from the paramilitary Frontier Corps, 18 army personnel and 4 crew members. According to the Mil Mi-17 specification, Mi-17's capacity is limited to 32 passengers. Most of the personnel on board were proceeding on leave. The helicopter was flying from Parachinar, the headquarters of Kurram Agency, to Peshawar. Previously there were unconfirmed reports that the helicopter might have been hit by ground fire from militants, with four casualties reported, but these have been overshadowed by Inter Services Public Relations' report. There is an ongoing operation in the area against the militants linked to Al-Qaeda. Militants have claimed they have shot down the aircraft and the Taliban have captured the pilot; if true this is the first such incident.
