Pak sends Norway envoy's body back home

The body of the Norwegian ambassador to Pakistan, Leif H Larsen, who was among seven people killed in last week's deadly helicopter crash, was today flown to his home country.
Seven people, including the ambassadors of Norway and the Philippines, the wives of the envoys of Indonesia and Malaysia, two pilots and one crew member, were killed when the Pakistan Army's MI-17 chopper crashed in Naltar valley in PoK's Gilgit-Batistan region on May 8.
Foreign Office said that the body of the deceased Norwegian ambassador was flown from Islamabad to Oslo.
Diplomats from over 30 countries were going to Naltar for a ceremony to inaugurate a chairlift at a ski resort when one of the three helicopters carrying them crashed.

Minister for States and Frontiers Regions Abdul Qadir Baloch and an officer of the Ministry of Foreign affairs are accompanying the mortal remains of the ambassador on a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight.
A ceremony with a guard of honour to pay respects to the deceased diplomat was held at Nur Khan Airbase, Islamabad before departure.
