Plane with five people on board crashes in northern Iraq
2006-02-19
SULAYMANYAH - A plane with five people on board crashed in northern Iraq on Friday, airport authorities in the Kurdish city of Sulaymanyah said. Unconfirmed sources said that four of the people killed were German nationals, but an airport spokesman only confirmed that there was one Iraqi and four foreigners on board without specifying their nationalities.

Radio contact with the small aircraft broke off near the town of Halabja in the north-east of the country, the authorities said. The plane originated in Azerbaijan and was heading for Sulaymanyah.
Likely bad maintenance.
