               One Survivor From Algerian Plane Crash; 77 Killed

   Algerian state television says 77 people died when a military plane
   slammed into a mountain near the northern city of Constantine Tuesday.
   Algeria`s Defense Ministry said one person survived the crash and was
   undergoing treatment at a regional military hospital.
   In a follow-up statement, the military said it had accounted for all 74
   passengers and four crew -- far fewer than the 103 people earlier
   reported to have been on board the doomed C-130 transport.
   There was no immediate explanation provided for the discrepancy.
   Official Algerian media linked the crash to bad weather, including snow
   and gale-force winds, and said President Abdelaziz Bouteflika has
   declared a three-day period of national mourning.
   The reports say the flight originated in the southern province of
   Tamanrasset.
