CHARLESVILLE, Liberia — Eleven bodies were pulled from the wreckage of a military plane that crashed in Liberia, with Guinea’s army chief of staff and top military officers among its passengers, officials said Monday.
The military officers were on their way to attend Liberia’s Armed Forces Day celebrations, when the plane went down between 7 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. in Charlesville, near Liberia’s largest airport and some 45 kilometers (28 miles) south of Monrovia, the capital.
“At 7:09 a.m., air traffic control cleared the flight to land at Roberts International Airport. That was the last known contact from the crew,” said a statement released by Liberian airport authorities.
