At least 10 members of a Guinean military delegation have died when their plane crashed in Liberia, officials say. | |
No-one is said to have survived but it is not clear how many people were on board. | |
The plane was carrying officials to Liberia's annual Armed Forces Day. | |
It came down in Charlesville, near the Roberts International Airport outside Monrovia, Liberia's Information Minister Lewis Brown told AFP. | |
At the ceremony, Liberia's President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf dedicated a minute's silence to "several" Guinean officials "involved in the tragic plane crash". | At the ceremony, Liberia's President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf dedicated a minute's silence to "several" Guinean officials "involved in the tragic plane crash". |
