Small passenger plane crashes near Nepal's capital

None

A small passenger plane carrying 14 people, including some foreigners, to the Mount Everest region crashed into the hills outside Nepal's capital in heavy rain Tuesday, officials said.

 

The German-built Dornier airplane was carrying 11 passengers and three crew members when bad weather forced it to try to return to Katmandu. Rescue coordinators at the police headquarters in Katmandu said six foreigners were on board but could not give details. (AP)
