No They operate 208's and the referenced accident is a Caravan 208, the following link is in french (je parle francais) clearly indicates that the aircraft involved was indeed a 208.http://www.radiokiskeya.com/spip.php?article4107

Well, there is a two engined 208, albeit driving a single propeller.
Soloy Pathfinder 21 A twin engine stretch of the 208 developed by the Soloy Corporation. This aircraft features two PT6D-114A engines driving a single propeller, and a 70 inch stretch behind the wing
