Afghan airliner wreckage located

The wreckage of an Afghan airliner which disappeared on Thursday has 
been found in mountains east of the capital, Kabul, Afghan officials 
say. It was not known whether there were survivors among the 104 people 
on board. If they are confirmed dead, it will be Afghanistan's worst 
air crash. The Kam Air Boeing 737 flight from Herat to Kabul vanished 
amid heavy snowstorms on Thursday afternoon. It disappeared from radar 
screens as it was nearing Kabul airport.

There were a number of foreigners on the flight, including nine Turkish 
nationals, three American aid workers and an Italian naval commander. 
The eight crew included four Russians and two Afghans, a spokesman for 
Kam Air said.
