Bodies of two Japanese tourists, who were killed in a road accident, were sent to Islamabad in an Army Aviation helicopter on Sunday.
One Japanese national Kazama Xuichi was killed on the spot while three others - Saito Tomoko, Nakashi Mitsuko and Bone Yoko-were seriously injured when a huge landslide hit their vehicle at Pari, 30 kms east of Gilgit, Home Secretary Northern Areas Saeed Ahmed Khan told APP.
