An army helicopter saved two Italian climbers from the Nanga Parbat Mountain, a Pakistani official said. Walter Nones and Simon Kehrer had been struggling to descend from Nanga Parbat since July 16, when fellow climber Karl Unterkircher fell to his death. Tourism official Shaukat Zaman said the helicopter rescued the two climbers Thursday and they were being transported to the region's main town of Gilgit. The military-run helicopter rescue service, Askari Aviation, confirmed the operation on its website.
