At least 11 construction workers were killed on Wednesday when a wall collapsed on them during heavy monsoon rains on the outskirts of Pakistan's capital Islamabad, police said.

The workers, from a nearby construction site, were inside a makeshift tent set up under the wall to take shelter from the rain when it fell on them, police official Zafar Khan said.
