BA suspends Pakistan flights
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - British Airways has suspended its flights to Pakistan because of security fears after a bloody suicide truck-bomb blast at a hotel in Islamabad on the weekend, an airline spokesman said on Monday.
"We suspended all flights to Pakistan immediately after the blast. It's a temporary suspension. Our people at headquarters are reviewing the security situation," said spokesman Sohail Rehman.
The airline had six flights a week to Pakistan, he said.
