A HARROW councillor has said he is “saddened” by the Pakistan air crash which killed all 152 people on board.
The Airblue flight from Karachi to Islamabad crash-landed close to the Pakistani capital yesterday, coming down in a valley in monsoon weather and poor visibility.
Investigators are trying to establish what caused the plane to go down and who was on board.
Councillor Husain Akhtar, (Conservative, Canons) said today: “I’m saddened by the loss of life in this accident and my thoughts are with the families, relatives and friends of those killed.
“I share the grief and sorrow of the Pakistani community in Harrow and beyond.”
Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has declared a day of mourning today for the victims of the crash.
The government has said it is not believed to be an act of terrorism.
