VIDEO: IRAN: AMERICANS TALK ABOUT EAST PAKISTAN SITUATION AFTER FLYING OUT FROM DACCA

By Reuters





Background: Twenty-six Americans, including officials, women and children, have managed to get out of the dangerous situation in East Pakistan by a Pakistan Airlines (PIA flight from Dacca via Karachi to Teheran.

This group arrived on Tuesday, and another group of 120 Americans were expected by a chartered Pakistani aircraft next day.

Douglas Kiker talked to two women in Tuesday's group, both of them reluctant to give their names or too much detailed information because they had relatives still remaining in East Pakistan.
