Iran says all 11 on board crashed plane are dead
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTEHRAN, Iran — A website associated with Iranian state television is quoting an emergency official as saying that all 11 people on board a Turkish private jet that crashed in the mountains have been killed.
The Young Journalists’ Club website quotes Mojtaba Khaledi, the spokesman of the country’s emergency management agency, as saying that local villagers had reached the site of the airplane crash late Sunday night.
Khaledi says they found 11 badly burned bodies. He says DNA tests would be needed to identify the dead.
Authorities say the Turkish private jet was flying from the United Arab Emirates to Istanbul. The doomed aircraft days earlier carried a bachelorette party bound for Dubai.
