Nine Killed in Sinai Plane Crash
'Pakistan Times' Wire Service

CAIRO: As many as nine military personnel, including up to eight French soldiers, were killed Sunday when a French plane attached to a Sinai multinational peacekeeping force crashed in the Sinai desert, said the force's spokesman.

Normand St. Pierre said there were more soldiers than normal in the aircraft because it was on a training mission, but said officials were still trying to determine the nationalities of all the victims.

The crash occurred almost exactly in the middle of the vast Sinai Peninsula, about 50 kilometers from a town called Nakhl, police said. ●
