Toll rises in Iran military aircraft crash
2005-12-07
An Iranian military aircraft with at least 94 people on board has crashed into a densely populated district of Tehran and exploded, setting a 10-storey building ablaze. The C-130 transport plane crashed on Tuesday into a residential area killing many passengers and people on the ground, state television and witnesses said. Mojtaba Mirabdollahi, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry, put the death toll at 116.

A government official estimated the apartment block housed about 250 people. An interior ministry spokesman said he could confirm six to 10 deaths among those on the ground.
