A Kenyan military plane has crashed in the north of the country, with 13 feared dead and four injured. Among the passengers were six members of parliament. Officials said the Chinese-built Kenyan Air Force Harbin Y-12 twin-engine turboprop went down at around 10am (0700 GMT) and burst into flames near Marsabit National Park, about 430km northeast of Nairobi.

Mutea Iringo, Marsabit district commissioner, said the plane had crashed into a hill in heavy fog as it approached the airstrip outside town. "They lost direction of the airstrip because of foggy weather and then crash landed on a hill about three kilometres from Marsabit town," he told AFP. "After it crashed, it burst into flames and the fire was so fierce that some of the bodies were burnt beyond recognition." |
