Airliner crashes in Algeria

A passenger plane with 97 people on board has crashed in southern Algeria.
There are fears that everyone on board has been killed, although some reports
are speaking of a sole survivor. The Air Algerie aircraft crashed shortly
after take-off from Tamanrasset at about 1545 local time (1445 GMT). The
plane - said to be a Boeing 737 - was heading for the capital, Algiers, some
1,300 kilometres (800 miles) away. The Algerian Government has set up a
crisis unit to deal with the emergency, and two ministers have left for the
region, the French news agency AFP reports. Tamanrasset lies at the base of
the Hoggar Mountains in the Sahara Desert.
