A domestic passenger plane with 152 people aboard has crashedinto the hills in Pakistan's capital Islamabad, Pakistani officials said Wednesday morning.

Rescuers were trying to reach the scene of the Airblue plane crash on a rainy morning, but the roads in the Margalla Hills-area in Islamabad are difficult to navigate.

Officials initially thought it was a small plane, but police official Mohammed Saeed said later Wednesday morning that "it seems that it is a bigger tragedy."

A Civil Aviation Authority official said 146 passengers were on the flight along with six crew members.
