A military plane crashed in Liberia on Monday, killing 11 people, including Guinea’s military chief and top officers, officials said. The officers were on their way to attend Liberia’s Armed Forces Day celebrations when the plane went down in Charlesville, near Liberia’s largest airport and about 28 miles south of Monrovia, the capital. Guinea’s Defense Ministry said that six members of the military delegation and five crew members had been killed in the crash. Guinea’s army chief of staff, Gen. Souleymane Kelefa Diallo, was among the dead.
