Pakistan passenger plane fired upon

According to officials, a Pakistan International Airlines  flight from Multan to Karachi, was cruising into land at the Karachi airport on Saturday night when it was fired upon while passing over the Malir area which is close to the airport. “The pilot realising the situation displayed lot of courage and sense to land the aircraft safely but obviously the incident has caused lot of concern in the aviation industry,” one CAA official said.

Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authorities and police are investigating the firing incident.
Police said they were investigating and trying to find the exact location from where the airplane was fired upon. In November, Karachi witnessed two aircraft crashes, both near the airport soon after the planes took off.
