LAHORE, Pakistan -- A Pakistan military helicopter that was escorting Pakistan's president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, crashed in Pakistan-held Kashmir Monday, killing at least four people, according to Pakistan Army and intelligence sources.
Musharraf was not on board the helicopter, and he arrived safely at his destination, the officials said. They added that along with the four security officers who died, the presidential press secretary, Rashid Qureshi, and several other people were seriously injured.

This is the second time a helicopter carrying Musharraf’s escorts/spokesmen has crashed. First the attempt on Bhutto, now an attempt on Mushy again. It gets uglier in Pakistan every day.
And here I though rogue elements in Iran would be the most likely to do something stupid with a nuke... now I’m not so sure that Pakistan shouldn’t be getting the best odds.
Second? Was there another incident today? I posted this on the 8th. Or are you talking about the convoy attack outside of Mingora?
Oh...I didn’t see the date, I thought this happened today. Never mind my last post then, lol
My bad
n/p I thought you were talking about something that just happened.
