Pak Army helicopter crashes in Orakzai

ISLAMABAD: A Pakistani military helicopter crashed because of a technical failure in the northwestern Orakzai tribal region near the Afghan border on Friday, military officials said.

There were no details on casualties immediately available. It was a utility helicopter, and it crashed due to a technical fault, military spokesman Major-General Athar Abbas told Reuters. 'There is no operation in Orakzai. It was flying over from a destination in FATA and going back to Peshawar,' Abbas told AFP.

Conflicting reports have emerged however, with Dawn News sources say the helicopter was shot down by Taliban militants operating in the area. They add that four people are believed to have been killed.
