Re: PAF Aircraft Crashes in Karachi
The aircraft had departed from PAF Base Masroor in Karachi and met this accident when it was returning to that air base.
Probably the aircraft is a two-seater Mirage.

Probably it's ex-Libyan Air Force Mirage VDD serial number 04-003.
Note number '003' on this wreckage piece.
This looks like front section of external fuel tank.
