Indian Searchers Find Wreckage, Bodies from Military Plane


Authorities in India say they have found the bodies of all 13 defense workers who were on board a military transport plane that crashed near the country's disputed border with China Tuesday.

Investigators say rescuers found the wreckage of the Russian-made AN-32 aircraft scattered across a hill in the northeastern Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, Wednesday. The air force says four senior military officials were among those on board.

Authorities say the plane was on a routine supply mission from an air base in Arunachal Pradesh to the northeastern state of Assam.

Villagers near the crash site say they heard a loud sound and saw smoke on a distant hill. Investigators do not yet know what caused the crash.

The plane went down in a Himalayan region near the disputed border with China. India and China fought a brief war over the territory in 1962.
