Authorities say that Pamir Airways flight 112 went down earlier today while on its way from the northern city of Kunduz to the capital, Kabul. Rescuers were headed to the presumed crash site near the Salang Pass in the Hindu Kush mountains, north of the Afghan capital; however, poor weather conditions, including fog, reportedly hampered an aerial search. "This is terrain that is very, very difficult to reach," said Tom Popyk, a Canadian freelance reporter, to the CTV News Channel by telephone.
