There are more than 50 climbers on Diamir side of Nanga Parbat, this summer. As weather improved after a week, many climbers went up and were in higher camps. C2 was reached yesterday.
LA Times and other media report that the attack took place at a hotel in BC. Huff Po report the gunmen wore uniforms used by the Paramilitary Police force, beat up the Pakistani guides, tied up the tourists, robbed them and then gunned them down. The terrorists reportedly fled after the attack. Reuters report Pakistani militant Jundullah claimed responsibility. "These foreigners are our enemies and we proudly claim responsibility for killing them and will continue such attacks in the future as well," a Jundullah spokesman told the news source over telephone.
