SAD
BERLIN - A small business jet is believed to have crashed in Germany as it was flying to Sweden from the Czech capital, Prague.
German air traffic control spokesman Axel Raab says the pilot of the Cessna 550 Citation was given clearance to climb to a higher level after entering German airspace at 8.20 p.m. (1920GMT). However, the pilot never replied and the plane then disappeared from radar screens.
Raab says wreckage has now apparently been found, but officials are still investigating. The plane was southeast of the eastern German city of Dresden when controllers had their last contact with it.
There was no immediate word on how many people were aboard or the possible cause of the accident.
