BAD WEATHER has been blamed for the deaths of 11 men in Pakistan in a helicopter crash last Thursday.

The men, who were soldiers in the Pakistan army, were killed when their aircraft came down near Skardu, 150 miles north of the capital, Islamabad.

An army statement said an investigation was being conducted into the accident, which claimed the lives of a brigadier, a major and three captains.
