Pakistani capital shaken by earthquake

None

Residents of Pakistan's capital were jolted from their beds overnight by a 5.3-magnitude earthquake _ a chilling reminder of the devastating temblor that killed more than 80,000 people and left 3 million homeless almost exactly five years ago.

 

Arif Mahmood, a seismological official in the northwestern city of Peshawar, said the quake's epicenter was only about 17 miles north of Islamabad. (AP)
