Flash floods kill 10 in Pakistan

By Ap, Peshawar
Flash floods caused by heavy monsoon rains yesterday killed at least 10 people in a remote village of northwestern Pakistan, an official said.

Dozens of mud and stone-built homes were washed away when a deluge of flood water hit the village of Karak, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) southwest of Peshawar, said Rahmat Salam, a district mayor.

"A rescue operation is under way in Karak, and so far we have found 10 bodies," he told The Associated Press.
