A PAF C-130 has took off from Gilgit Airport carrying 9 bodies.

then people want to cut down defence budget..
PAF can barely sustain the bare minimum flying hours...
or sending in a few jet planes scanning the area could.have sussed out the terrorist who may well be in the mountains still...

Foreign tourists' murder: Tour operators urge authorities to seal the area
By Waqas Naeem
Published: June 23, 2013

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Association of Tour Operators (PATO) has condemned the brutal killing of nine foreign tourists near Nanga Parbat in Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B) and urged the military and government authorities to immediately seal the area and search the gunmen.

“It takes 18 hours on foot to reach the road,” PATO President Amjad Ayub said, adding that 18 hours have not passed since the incident and if the area is properly cordoned off and searched, the gunmen can be caught.

Ayub said unless the attackers had helicopters, which he said was highly unlikely, they would still be in the area.

He said there is no way for the gunmen to escape the area except the Shadra Valley, Mazeno Pass and the Bunar Valley.

Tour operator Ghulam Nabi, who belongs to the Fairy Meadows, said the tour operators can help the government identify the potential escape routes but the authorities must mobilise security forces immediately to perform aerial search of the area.

The tour operators suggested that the attack on the foreign tourists took place on the “Diamer face of Nanga Parbat,” correcting earlier reports which claimed the incident had occurred in the Fairy Meadows.

Nanga Parbat, an 8.126 metre-high peak, has three main faces for trekking: Diamer, Rupal (south face) and Raikot (north face) – which is near Fairy Meadows.

The tour operators also challenged a G-B police officer’s statement that the tourists were killed inside a hotel. The operators claimed there were no hotels in the Diamer face area and they suggested the tourists were staying in camps.

Ayub said the attack was a continuation of killings at Babusar and in Chilas in 2012, which he said always coincided with the tourist season.

“Our tourism industry is already battered, this incident will further destroy it,” Ayub said. “Verbal condemnation and setting up an inquiry commission will not solve the crisis. It can only be resolved through prompt action”

The tour operators said adventure tourism will be hit the hardest by the incident but overall hundreds of people associated with the tourism industry in G-B could be affected. Instead of spending weeks on security clearance of foreign tourists, the government should provide them protection when they visit Pakistan, the tour operators said.

Nabi added that more than the economy, the image of Pakistan is at stake.

“People will hear this news around the world and they will start hating Pakistan even though the potential for tourism in this country is huge,” he said.

Tour operators are confirming what @Leader said about Chilas

A shameful instance... Mountaineers are arguably the most neutral enthusiasts across the world... They just seek their peace and the news of them being hunted reminds me of 1990-1996 era in J&K, where they started targeting foreigners to get attention and spread fear and ended up completely stopping tourist traffic to the area.

Let this be known that these rabid dogs (the militias that goes under different names) will never be an asset for anyone. The support for such elements has to end.

I feel said for the climbers, who met such a dreadful end!
