                  Congo Plane Crash Kills 30 Near Brazzaville

   by VOA News

   Emergency workers in the Republic of Congo say at least 30 people were
   killed when a cargo plane slammed into homes near Brazzaville's airport
   on Friday.

   Rescuers said Saturday that the victims included all six crew members
   of the Soviet-era plane, a four-engine Ilyushin 76 jet freighter. It
   went down while trying to land at the Brazzaville Maya-Maya airport.

   There was no immediate word on what caused the crash. Witnesses say the
   aircraft was trying to land during a violent storm.

   Officials say the plane was carrying cargo from the port city of
   Pointe-Noire.
