Cargo plane crashes in Karachi residential area, 8 dead
Islamabad - A cargo plane crashed in a residential area in Pakistan's southern port city of Karachi on Sunday, killing eight Russian nationals on board, the government officials said.

The Ilyushin IL-76 aircraft went down about five minutes after take-off from Jinnah International Airport en route to Sudan, in the early hours of the day.

'The pilot informed the control tower that one engine of the plane had caught fire. He tried to return back to the airport but crashed,' Parvez George, Civil Aviation Authority spokesman, said by phone from Karachi.

'The plane had arrived from Fujairah, UAE, and was carrying some 31 tons of relief items,' George added. 'All eight crew members are dead. They were Russian nationals.'

One labourer was injured as the plane missed residential apartments, mainly occupied by the retired officers of Pakistan NAVY, and exploded into flames in a housing complex under construction. [link to www.monstersandcritics.com]
