66 Feared Dead After Iranian Plane Crash in Zagros Mountains
------------------------------------------------------------

An Iranian plane crashed in the Zagros Mountains Sunday, and all 66
people aboard are feared to be dead. The crash is the latest in a series
of aviation accidents in Iran in recent years, which are attributed to
the difficulty of maintaining and repairing old aircraft in the face of
international sanctions.
