Most of the Pakistanis living in violence-hit parts of Kyrgyzstan arrived here on Tuesday by two special C-130 flights.

The body of Ali Raza, a student who lost his life during the ethnic violence in the Central Asian country, was also brought home.

The first flight carrying 134 people landed at Chaklala airbase at 4.15am and the second flight with 127 passengers, mostly students, arrived in the evening.

Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi received the body of Ali Raza, a fourth-year student of engineering.

A 17-member medical team, headed by Dr Zulfiqar Ghauri of the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, and four ambulances were at the airbase for treatment and care of those who arrived.
