General killed in Pakistan crash
A senior Pakistani army officer is among eight people killed in a helicopter crash in the restive South Waziristan region, the army says.
The army helicopter carrying Maj Gen Javed Sultan crashed because of a technical fault in bad weather, an army spokesman told the BBC.
Maj Gen Sultan was a senior officer in charge of fighting Islamist Taleban militants near the Afghan border.
The army says that at least two other senior officers were killed.
The helicopter reportedly came down between the towns of Jandola and Wana.
