11 Lost Onboard UN Aircraft In Haiti

Surveillance Plane Impacted A Mountain Near The Dominican Border

Eleven UN military personnel were lost Friday when their surveillance aircraft impacted a mountain near the Dominican Border. It was not known why they were conducting surveillance in that area.

The Associated Press reports that all those on board were Uruguayan and Jordanian military personnel. They were part of a 9,000 person U.N. peacekeeping force that has been in Haiti since President Jean-Bertrand Aristidea was ousted in a rebellion in 2004.

U.N. spokeswoman Michele Montas in New York said the aircraft, a Uruguayan CASA212, went down in rugged terrain west of Fonds-Verrettes. Rescuers were forced to approach the crash site on foot because no roads lead into the area. A statement from the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Haiti said all the bodies had been recovered, and would be taken back to the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince.

Montas said the UN has opened an investigation into the incident.
