Sulaimaniyah, Kurdistan-Iraq, - The Kurds found
the wreckage of a German business jet on Sunday in
the northern Kurdistan region after the plane went
missing earlier this week with six passengers on
board, said a senior Kurdish security official.
Six bodies were found, a Kurdish official
said.
He said the wreckage was found in Arbat, 30km
northeast of Sulaimaniyah in Iraqi Kurdistan.
"We have found two parts of the plane and a bag and
our search is continuing in the vicinity of the
village of Bushein," in the Arbat region, said the
official.
Iraq had launched a massive hunt for the
German-registered plane in the mountainous terrain
of Kurdistan (northern Iraq) after it went missing
on Thursday night, 100km north of the town of
Halabja, in the Kurdish province of Sulaimaniyah. |

police said. It stopped in Baku, Azerbaijan, before
flying on to northern Iraq.
