RESCUERS have found the wreckage of a Norwegian military plane that crashed with five people on board during an exercise in northern Sweden, officials said yesterday.
Parts of the C-130 cargo aircraft were found scattered over a glacier on mount Kebnekaise, Sweden's highest mountain, said rescue spokesman Mathias Hansson. Four men and one woman -- all Norwegians - were on board the plane heading from Evenes, on Norway's Arctic coast, to the Swedish city of Kiruna. Hansson said the crew had not been found, but "there is nothing that indicates" they had survived the crash.
