4 Killed in Pakistan Tornado

The tornado heavily damaged Chak Miran, a village of several hundred homes about 120 miles southeast of Islamabad, said Mohammed Siddiq, deputy commissioner of the area.

Two women and two children died when the tornado hit, he said. Hundreds of others in the village have been left homeless.

The tornado struck during the first heavy rains to hit this parched nation of 140 million people in nearly one year. Most of central and northern Pakistan received heavy rains. Some areas were hit with hailstorms as well.
