Breaking - plane crashes in Afghanistan
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8686584.stm

An Afghan passenger plane with 43 people on board has crashed between Kunduz and Kabul, officials say.

The Pamir Airways plane is thought to have gone down near the Salang Pass, a mountainous area about 60 miles (100 km) north of the capital, Kabul.

The plane had been missing since early morning. A number of foreigners were thought to be on board the flight.

Search teams, assisted by US and Nato forces, were reported to be on their way to the crash site.
