George Doyle/Thinkstock(ISLAMABAD) — An American citizen was one of 11 people killed in an attack in northern Pakistan on Sunday.
Authorities say Islamist militants wearing police uniforms opened fire on a base camp at Nanga Parbat, the ninth-highest peak in the world.
According to BBC News, the attack killed at least nine foreign tourists. The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, claiming it was in response to the killing of its second-in-command, Waliur Rehman, in a drone strike in May.
