Sixty eight people are feared dead after a passenger plane crashed in the mountains of Cuba. The aircraft, belonging to the state airline Cubana de Aviacion, was flying from the eastern city of Santiago de Cuba to the capital Havana. The twin turboprop went down near the village of Guasimal in Santi Spiritus province. Rescue workers at the scene have begun recovering bodies. An early breakdown of the nationalities of the foreign passengers indicated there were no Britons on board AeroCaribbean Flight 883. A list of passengers indicates the dead include nine Argentinians, seven Mexicans, three Dutch citizens, two Germans, two Austrians, a French citizen, an Italian, a Spaniard, a Venezuelan and a Japanese traveller. The twice-a-week flight goes from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to Santiago de Cuba to Havana. It was on the last leg of the journey when it radioed in an emergency and subsequently lost contact with air traffic controllers. The plane, said to be an ATR-72 twin turboprop, crashed not far from the Zaza reservoir, the largest in Cuba. At Havana's national terminal, relatives of those on board the plane were kept isolated from other passengers. The flight would have been one of the last leaving Santiago de Cuba for Havana ahead of Tropical Storm Tomas, which was on a track to pass between Cuba's eastern coast and the western coast of Haiti today. Cuban media said earlier that flights and train service to Santiago were being suspended until the storm passed. AeroCaribbean <b>...</b>
