Terror is likely in Azeri plane deadly crash - Sources
BAKU, Dec 24 (KUNA) -- The deadly crash of an Azeri commercial airliner could have been the result of a terrorist act, security sources said here. They did not elaborate.
Initial investigations indicated that the plane might have exploded in mid air as many parts of it fell into the Caspian Sea, an Azeri security source said.
The Azeri national television Saturday confirmed the death of all 23 passengers and crew, mainly students under 20, in a crash of a plane near Baku Airport shortly after takeoff on a trip from Baku to Aktau, Kazakhstan.
The television said that the Ukraine-made aircraft disappeared from radar screens minutes after takeoff late last night.
Poor weather conditions and heavy rains hampered the search for the plane wreck and black box.(end) nk.
