| "Team of U.S. Experts" in Pakistan to assist in recovery ops |
| 2012-04-10 |
| A team of U.S. experts is in Pakistan to assist in recovery operations, two days after an avalanche buried more than 135 Pakistani soldiers and civilians in what is known as the world's highest battlefield. U.S. embassy spokesman Mark Stroh told VOA that in response to a Pakistani request, an eight-member team of American experts has arrived in Islamabad to assist in the rescue operation. "This is a team that is trained to operate in search and rescue operations at very, very high altitudes. They are trained in recovery, mass casualty medical support and things of this nature," said Stroh. "Their intention is to do whatever is required from the Pakistani side. They have not yet been able to travel to Siachen because the weather has not permitted that travel." |

| #1 "two days" ? This was up way longer, no? or was that another avalanche? With full faith and effort, 1. Those men would not have been on sand to start with but nevermind that and India and spat stuff. Will any of them be alive to kill US later? Just a question . I know it's kind of late. |
