Gilgit shot.

On June 23rd, 20 13, Pakistani police said that at least nine foreign tourists and 1 Pakistani tour guides were killed by armed men in the northern Gilgit area. Two citizens of China were killed and/kloc-0 citizens of China were rescued. The two people killed in China were mountaineers Yang Chunfeng and Rao Jianfeng, both of whom successfully climbed mountains in China for the first time. The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.

The attacker opened fire in cold blood after waking the sleeping tourists.

It is understood that in this attack, in addition to tourists from China, other victims included 1 Russian, 5 Ukrainians and 1 Pakistani local tour guide.

Pakistani police said that most of the dead were climbers, and their hotel was located at the camp under Nanjiafeng Mountain in Gilgit area. Witnesses said that about 10 to 12 militants participated in the attack. The attacker entered the hotel wearing the clothes of the local security forces. They woke the sleeping tourists, ordered them to leave the hotel and shot them.

The local police initially set the number of victims as 1 1, and later changed it to 10. According to the analysis, it may be that 1 got away with it.

The Gilgit area is close to the Himalayas, and many peaks are mountain resorts for climbers, which are famous for their natural beauty. Nanjia Peak is a peak at the western end of Himalayan Mountains, with an altitude of 81.25m, making it the ninth highest peak in the world. The local terrain is steep and sparsely populated. It is a sacred place frequented by mountain climbers and explorers. However, due to the security situation in Pakistan, the number of foreign tourists visiting Pakistan has also decreased sharply, and the tourism industry has been greatly affected. However, the security situation in the Gilgit area is relatively good, and no similar incidents have occurred before.

The Pakistani Embassy in China launched an emergency mechanism.

It is understood that the incident was located in a remote mountainous area, so the traffic was inconvenient and even the local roads were impassable. The body can only be transported by helicopter. After the incident, the local government held an emergency meeting to discuss the security situation in this area, and the local police also sent a large number of police officers to search for suspects. The local border guards also controlled the area and blocked all exits.

The Pakistani Embassy in Pakistan said that it has started to contact the families of the victims and launched an emergency mechanism, demanding that China properly handle the attack on Pakistani people, protect the lives of Chinese people in Pakistan and severely punish the perpetrators. After the incident, security measures have been strengthened in the construction camp of China Road and Bridge Company near the incident site.

Pakistani President Zardari and Prime Minister Sharif condemned the attack.

Both the "Allah Brigade" and the Taliban claimed responsibility.

20 13 On June 24th, Sunni militant group "Allah Brigade" and Pakistani Taliban both claimed responsibility for the attack. A spokesman for the "Allah Brigade" told the media that they regarded foreigners in this area as enemies and said that they would continue to launch similar attacks in the future. The "Allah Brigade" has been active in northern Pakistan for a long time and has close ties with Al Qaeda and the Taliban. It has created many attacks against Shia Muslims.

The Taliban claimed that the attack was carried out by an unknown branch of the organization in order to avenge the death of Taliban leader Moulana Wali Rahman in May 20 13 by a U.S. drone attack.

Some experts on international issues pointed out that as far as we know, it is not specifically aimed at China people. If Pakistan does not know the whereabouts of these climbers, it will be difficult to provide them with security. From this point of view, I hope that under the current severe security situation in Pakistan, it is best for individuals not to go to Pakistan.

Mountaineering Association warning

Overseas mountaineers

Wang Yongfeng said that Yang Chunfeng, Rao Jianfeng and Zhang Jingchuan are all amateur climbers. Amateur mountaineers like them are increasingly aiming overseas. The number of overseas climbers from China is increasing day by day, and Pakistan, Nepal and other countries are very popular with climbers. Wang Yongfeng said that as long as the team members get the local mountaineering permission, they can climb overseas, and Yang Chunfeng and others also got such permission for this mountaineering activity. "But we suggest that in addition to obtaining permission, climbers should take the initiative to contact the embassy after arriving in the local area."

The reporter inquired about the information of Yang Chunfeng and others, and found that Yang Chunfeng, Rao Jianfeng, Zhang Jingchuan and others accompanied him to the summit many times. Together, they once conquered the Gorge and became the first successful climber in China. It is reported that Rao Jianfeng climbed 10 8000m mountain peak. 20 12 from April to August, it took him five months to climb five 8000-meter peaks, four of which reached the top.
