There are some inaccuracies of concern in the Airblue CEO's supposed statement - 'crash site is north/northeast of the airport' and ATC stopped it landing on 30 (as far as I know ATC cannot do that).
Apart from the loss of SA we must be looking at, I seriously wonder if PIA have some sort of unofficial 'procedure' for a back-course on 12 that this ex-PIA Captain might have been aiming to fly? It might even have been 'known' to a mil pilot as well. I think 25/2600' would actually 'do' (if unwise) if you stayed away from the hills for such a 'home-grown'. I really wish 'Mr Reticence' would come clean on this, having shot the hand grenade into the crowd in post #83, and now claiming '27 years' of 'flying' in and out of Islamabad - don't pretend you don't know! It would be of relevance to this accident, especially when we hear of the dramatic lack of SA in a PIA crew in AMS of which he/she speaks in later post.
