KINSHASA, Congo (AP) - Twenty-six people were missing and feared dead after a plane crashed in eastern Congo, an aviation official said Thursday.
The plane, which disappeared shortly after takeoff Wednesday, was found Thursday by a government-led search team flying near Bunyakiri, a village located in dense forests and mountains, said Raymond Sangara, coordinator of Congo's civil aviation authority.
The missing Antonov-12 had crashed into the side of a cliff, with pieces of the plane and clothing scattered in the valley below, said Sangara, who was aboard the search plane.
