Serengeti charter plane crasht^r
Ten American tourists among missing; no word on possible survhv ^ ^
ARUSHA, Tanzania (AP) — A charter plane
carrying 10 American tourists from Tanzania’s
Serengeti National Park crashed yesterday in
bad weather on the slopes of Mount Meru,
Africa’s fifth-highest mountain.
There was no immediate word on survivors.
Rescuers circled the crash site in a helicopter,
but low clouds and drizzle made it difficult to see
and impossible to land, Regional Police Com
mander Juma Ng’amag’waka said.
The flight was en route from the park to Kili
manjaro International Airport (KIA) in Tanzania
to connect with another flight going to Nairobi,
Kenya.
“The plane has been located, but it’s night
now, and I don’t think we will have any more in
formation tonight. I don’t know anything about
survivors,” Ng’amag’waka said. “We have sent
rescue teams there, including detectives. ”
Margaret Munyagi, head of the Tanzanian
Civil Aviation Authority, said the pilot of the
Northern Air charter did not report any prob
lems to the control tower.
“The pilot communicated with the con
trollers at KIA about 15 minutes before he was
due to land around 10:30 a.m.,” she said.
Arusha-based Northern Air refused to comment.
In neighboring Kenya, Isabel Mbugua of the
African Medical Research Foundation, an air
rescue organization, sent a helicopter and a
medical rescue team to the site, 125 miles soutli
of Nairobi.
She said nearby villagers spotted the
downed aircraft on a lower slope of the
15,067-foot mountain.
Mount Meru is located slightly north of Arusha,
where most safaris to the Serengeti, Mount Kili
manjaro and the Ngorongoro Crater begin.
Mbugua said bad weather prevented the res
cue helicopter from landing at the crash site,
and a medical team was on its way there in four-
wheel-drive vehicles.
She said the pilot, whom she contacted by
radio, said there was movement at the site. It
was not clear, however, who or what was mov
ing — survivors or villagers.
“They are hoping they have survivors,”
she said.

MAKHACHKALA, Russia (AP)
— Government troops searched
house to house for Islamic rebels
yesterday in a village in Dagestan
they captured overnight, the Inte
rior Ministry said.
Helicopter gunships, artillery
and rockets hammered two near
by mountainous villages where the
militants, who had imposed strict
Islamic law in the area, were hold
ing out for a fourth day.
Russian forces estimated that
more than 80 rebels have been
killed, but that number could not
be independently confirmed.
Israel, Palestine near security de
JERUSALEM (AP) — Working
hard to overcome llth-hour snags,
Israelis and Palestinians approached
agreement yesterday on a land-for-
security deal that set a one-year
deadline for end
ing decades of
hostility.
On a day
marked both by
shouted ultima
tums and grins of
optimism, the
sides cleared all
but one hurdle to
reviving the U.S.-brokered Wye ac
cord hours before Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright was to arrive in
the region.
ALBRIGHT
“There is a desire to have peace"
Albright told reporters as she flew to
Morocco yesterday. "There is a sense
we have to move on. And what 1
want to do is to play a fruitful role."
The issue that still threatened a
planned signing ceremony in
Egypt, to be attended by Albright,
was the number of Palestinians in
Israeli jails to be released. Negotia
tors said the difference was down
to just 30: Israel was ready to re
lease 370 prisoners; the Palestini
ans insisted on 400.
T\vo items that had vexed Prime
Minister Ehud Barak s pledge to re
vive Wye were resolved: a
timetable for an Israeli withdrawal
from 13 percent more of the West
Bank and a deadline fora:
tus agreement.
The new deadline fora:
