ISLAMABAD, April 28 (Xinhua) -- A German cyclist was found dead in Pakistan's northern district of Kohistan, local police said on Friday.

    "The body of Stefen Broderius, 39, and his damaged bicycle were discovered Thursday in a ravine in the Pattan area, about 300 kilometers north of Abbottabat city in North-Western Frontier Province (NWFP)," said regional police chief Attaullah Wazir.

    Wazir said Broderius was a German national and resident of Olderburg in western Germany, who was visiting Pakistan on a tourist visa.
