Pakistan moves against airline after crash

April 21, 2012 10:22 am | Updated July 13, 2016 03:03 pm IST - ISLAMABAD

Pakistan’s interior minister says the owner of an airline company whose jet crashed near the capital has been banned from leaving the country amid an investigation into the deadly accident.

Interior Minister Rehman Malik said Saturday that Farooq Bhoja, head of Bhoja Air, had been put on the “exit control list,” meaning he can’t leave Pakistan.

Such a ban is often put on someone suspected or implicated in a criminal case.

A Bhoja Air passenger jet crashed Friday as it came to land in Islamabad, killing all 127 people on board.
