News Wrap: Passenger jet crashes in Pakistan

Season 2020 Episode 153 | 5m 01s

In our news wrap Friday, a passenger jet crashed into a crowded residential district in Karachi, Pakistan. Most of the 98 people aboard were feared dead, but at least two survived. Rescuers combed the wreckage for signs of life. Also, the sons of slain Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi say they have forgiven their father’s killers -- a move that spares those convicted of the murder from execution.
