America stands with Pakistan after plane crash: Obama


WASHINGTON: US President Barack Obama offered his "deepest condolence" on Wednesday to families and friends of the 152 people killed in a plane crash near Islamabad, which included two Americans.

"Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those touched by this horrible accident," Obama said in a statement. "The American people stand with the people of Pakistan in this moment of tragedy."

The passenger jet crashed earlier Wednesday into densely wooded hills outside Islamabad, killing everyone on board in the worst crash involving a Pakistani airliner in 18 years.
