At Least 12 Killed in Kazakhstan Plane Crash

VOA News

   An airliner with 98 people on board crashed in Kazakhstan shortly after
   takeoff early Friday, killing at least 12 and injuring 54 others,
   authorities said.

   Kazakhstan's Civil Aviation Committee said in a statement the Bek Air
   plane hit a concrete fence and a two-story building after takeoff from
   Almaty International Airport.

   Local authorities had earlier put the death toll at 15, but the
   Interior Ministry of the Central Asian nation later revised the figure
   downward, without giving an explanation.
