Pakistan attackers kill 9 foreign mountain climbers and their guide

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- Attackers at a remote hotel used by adventure tourists in northern Pakistan killed nine foreign climbers and their guide Sunday, according to police and security officials, including five Ukrainians, three Chinese and a Russian.
No one has taken immediate responsibility for the attack, which reportedly took place at about 1 a.m. The hotel in Gilgit-Baltistan doubles as a base camp for mountaineers ascending Nanga Parbat, the world's ninth-highest peak.
The gunmen fled after the attack, said Deputy Inspector General of Police Ali Sher. The remote location could make escape more difficult for the gunmen than those involving strikes in heavily populated cities, analysts said, where attackers can melt into crowded neighborhoods.
"The number of attackers was between 15 to 20," Ali said. "The area is cordoned off and search operations continue."
