Volunteers on Thursday recovered the body of Pakistani climber Sohail Sakhi, nearly two weeks after an avalanche on Broad Peak killed 10 mountaineers. Sakhi had been missing since July 30, when a 10-member international expedition led by Nirmal Purja lost contact with base camp. All 10 climbers died in one of Pakistan's deadliest mountaineering accidents in recent years. Eight bodies have now been found. The Alpine Club of Pakistan said Sakhi's body would be flown by helicopter from base camp if weather permits. The expedition included climbers from Nepal, Oman, Pakistan, China, Britain and the United States.
