Military Aircraft Down In Algiers

Transport Plane Went Down With 103 On Board, One Reported Survivor

An Algerian military transport plane went down Tuesday in Algiers with 103 people on board, resulting in the fatal injury of all but one of the passengers and crew. There were reportedly women and children among those on board.

The Associated Press relays a report from the Algerian news agency that indicated the aircraft was flying from Tamanrasset in the far southern region of the country to Constantine. The plane went down in a mountainous region in the eastern part of Algiers about 30 miles south of Constantine.

All four of the aircraft's crew were among those fatally injured. A military spokesman said that the area where the plane went down was experiencing very low visibility and strong winds.

The number fatally injured equals that of the worst air accident in Algiers, in which 102 were killed when a civilian airliner went down in Tamanrasset in 2002.
