The Story:
A passenger jet carrying 152 people crashed into the hills surrounding Pakistan’s capital amid rain Wednesday, killing everyone aboard, an official said.
Imtiaz Elahi, the chairman of the Capital Development Authority, told The Associated Press that earlier reports of five survivors from the crash were wrong and that all aboard died. The Capital Development Authority has a group that responds to emergency situations.
Richard Snelsire, a spokesman at the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad confirmed that two U.S. citizens were among the dead. The victims were not identified, pending notification of their families.
The cause of the Airblue crash was not immediately clear, said Pervez George, a civil aviation official. He said the plane had left the southern city of Karachi at 7:45 a.m. for a two-hour scheduled flight to Islamabad and was trying to land during difficult weather. Airblue is a private service based in Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city.

My thoughts and Prayers are with the victims families this morning. As it says above two Americans were in the crash. This is no place for politics on a story like this, only grief.
My God rest their souls.
