Wreckage of lost Cambodian tourist plane found
Posted: 27 June 2007 0906 hrs



KAMPOT, Cambodia: Search teams on Wednesday located the wreckage of a chartered tourist plane which went missing in southern Cambodia, officials said, adding that all 22 aboard were likely dead.

"We found the crashed plane ... on top of Bokor Mountain, but we cannot get there now," said Khov Khun Huor, deputy governor of Kampot province.

All 22 people on the aircraft – 13 South Koreans, three Czechs, a Russian pilot and five local crew – were feared dead.

The plane disappeared two days ago en route from the Angkor temple town of Siem Reap to the seaside resort of Sihanoukville.

It was discovered by a helicopter around 50 kilometres (30 miles) from its destination and is thought to have crashed into the mountain in bad weather.

Rain and fog had made air searches nearly impossible since the plane went down on Monday as more than 1,000 police, troops and conservation workers scoured surrounding forests for the wreck.
