ISLAMABAD - A passenger plane crashed while trying to land during bad weather near Islamabad on Friday, police said.
The Bhoja Airline flight from Karachi came down outside Islamabad airport, police official Fazle Akbar told AFP, adding that emergency teams were on their way to the site.
"It was not immediately clear how many people were on board. We have sent teams to get details," Akbar said.
Plane crashes are relatively rare in Pakistan, where inter-city travel is most efficient by air.
They say the Bhoja Air jet crashed as it was landing in bad weather on Friday.
The officials didn't give their names because of the sensitivity of their positions.
Witnesses close to the Baria Town residential complex near the airport say emergency vehicles can be seen in the area.
