A plane with more than 150 people on board has crashed in hills north of the Pakistani capital, Islamabad.

Officials said 20 bodies had been recovered and at least three injured people had been taken to hospital. Police said it was an Airblue flight from Karachi to Islamabad.

The plane came down in the Margalla Hills near the capital, and Pakistani TV showed images of smouldering wreckage on a foggy hillside, with helicopters overhead.
