   Authorities  in  Cuba says all 68 people aboard a passenger plane that
   crashed Thursday are dead.
   Search and rescue crews have begun pulling bodies from the wreckage of
   the  AeroCarribbean  aircraft,  which  crashed  near  the  village  of
   Guasimal  in  Santi  Spiritus  province.   The  twin propeller engine
   aircraft went down after the pilot reported an emergency.
   The flight was the last one leaving Santiago ahead of Hurricane Tomas,
   which is expected to pass near eastern Cuba Friday.
   State  media  say  the plane was carrying 61 passengers and seven crew
   members, including 28 foreigners.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.
