All 80 aboard die in Morocco military plane crash

RABAT: A Moroccan military plane slammed into a mountainside near Guelmim in the south of the country, killing all 80 people aboard, a hospital source said.

The army earlier said 78 people were killed and three were rushed to hospital in serious condition after the Hercules C-130 crashed on the edge of the Sahara desert in Morocco's worst military aviation disaster.

But a hospital source said that two of the injured subsequently died. (AFP)
