Climbers killed in terrorist attack on Nange Parbat

[B the Hiker]

"As many as 20 gunmen dressed in paramilitary clothing attacked the Diamir Base Camp on the Pakistan side of Nanga Parbat (8125m) last night, killing at least 10 people and injuring at least one other. The armed men bound several Pakistani expedition staff, shot the foreign climbers and took their passports and money, the BBC reports. The names of the victims have not been released."

Such a tragedy. Some of the world's greatest mountains may be 'off limits' for decades to come.
