Macedonia leader killed in crash
Edited on Thu Feb-26-04 08:53 AM by mobuto
SKOPJE, Macedonia -- Macedonian President Boris Trajkovski, a moderate credited for helping to unite his ethnically divided country, has been killed in a plane crash in southeastern Bosnia.

Bosnian police said Thursday they had found wreckage of the U.S.-made Beechcraft Super King Air 200 twin-engine turboprop in mountains near the village of Pitulja, about 85 kilometers (50 miles) south of Sarajevo.

There were no survivors among Trajkovski, six of his aides and the two pilots, officials reported Thursday.
