Pakistan troops rescue climbers: BBC

Nanga Parbat is one of the most dangerous mountains in the world

Pakistan's army has rescued two Italian mountaineers stranded for 10 days on Nanga Parbat - one of the highest and deadliest Himalayan peaks.

Climbers Simon Kehrer and Walter Nones got into difficulties on 15 July when fellow climber Karl Unterkircher fell into a crevasse and died.

The two were stuck at about 6,600m (21,600 feet) above sea level.

Nanga Parbat is sometimes called the "Killer Mountain" because of the problems it poses climbers.
