The bodies of two US pilots who were killed when their military refuelling plane crashed in Kyrgyzstan have been found by rescue workers.
The Kyrgyz emergencies minister, Kubatbek Boronov, said search teams found the remains on Saturday.
Their KC-135 plane crashed on Friday afternoon about 100 miles west of the US airbase in Manas, near Kyrgyzstan's northern border, to support military operations in Afghanistan.
Boronov said US military officials were working with Kyrgyz rescuers to search for the third crewman and the flight recorders.
