Officials say the black box flight data recorder from the wreckage of the worst plane crash in Pakistan's history has been found.

On Wednesday, 152 people were killed when a passenger jet crashed into a hillside on the outskirts of the capital, Islamabad.

The plane had reportedly lost contact with the control tower before the crash, which occurred during stormy weather.

The black box will now be sent to foreign experts for decoding to determine why the plane crashed.
