KHARTOUM,June 27 , SPA -- A Sudanese cargo plane crashed
in bad weather on Friday killing seven of the eight crew north
of the southern town of Malakal, an aviation official said, according to Reuters.
The survivor was recovering in hospital, said Abu Bakr
Jaafar, head of the Civil Aviation Authority. Earlier this month
a Sudan Airways passenger plane caught fire in Khartoum killing
30 people.
"The crew were three Sudanese, four Ukranian and one
Armenian," Jaafar said. The plane was travelling from Khartoum
to the southern capital Juba.
The cause was unclear but Jaafar said the survivor told them
all four engines of the Antonov 12 plane failed after being hit
twice by what appeared to be lightning. The plane belonged to
the Juba Cargo Company, he added.
