ISLAMABAD- Three Japanese television journalists and their Pakistani driver were killed on October 24, 2002 after their vehicle plunged into a ditch near Gilgit, police said. The Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) journalists and the driver died when their vehicle went out of control on the Karakoram Highway, linking Islamabad with Gilgit, they said. The victims had been en route to Islamabad, a police official said, when they crashed about 80 km from Gilgit, near the town of Chilas, at about 3:30 pm.
