 PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria (AP) - Grieving relatives of the 107 victims of a weekend jetliner crash struggled Monday to identify the bodies of loved ones, most of them schoolchildren, after Nigeria's second major air disaster in as many months.
President Olusegun Obasanjo sang hymns at the Ignatius Loyola Jesuit College in the capital, Abuja, where 71 of the plane's passengers were students, and ordered flags lowered to half staff, beginning three days of national mourning.
He offered his condolences to grieving families and friends, calling on all Nigerians to "be prepared to meet our God whenever and wherever the call is made."
