Officials among 31 dead in Sudan plane blast: air authority

All 31 people aboard an airplane carrying an "official delegation" to Sudan's war-torn South Kordofan state for a function marking the Muslim Eid holiday were killed today, an aviation official said.

"All people on board were killed," Abdelhafiz Abdelrahim, spokesman for the Sudan Aviation Authority, told AFP.

He said the plane was landing in Talodi town at about 8:00 am (0500 GMT) when "an explosion was heard and the plane was destroyed."

Abdelrahim could not immediately provide further details.
