KINSHASA, Congo (AP) - The remains of 26 people killed last week when a plane crashed into a cliff were recovered Monday in eastern Congo, a government official said.
The Russian-made Antanov-12 crashed May 23 shortly after takeoff near Bunyakiri — about 60 miles southwest of Goma — scattering the plane between two mountains, government officials said last week.
A team of 50 soldiers, Red Cross workers and family members recovered the remains early Monday, said Gen. Gabrielle Amisi, commander of government troops in North Kivu province.
