Nation/World
ROME - A Uganda Airlines Boeing 707 jetliner with at least 50 people aboard crashed last night in heavy fog while attempting to land at the Vinci airport. Police said an underdeternied number of people were killed.
Local news reports said at least 13 of those aboard survived.
The aircraft, on a flight from London to Entebbe, Uganda, via Rome, split in two and burst into
flames as it landed at 12:31 a.m.
(6:31 p.m. CDT). The Italian news agency ANSA reported the plane crashed into construction as it attempted to land.
"There are deaths," a police officer at the airport said, speaking on condition of anonymity. "But until daylight we won't know many."
"It was definitely the fog," said the officer when asked what may have caused the crash.

In Washington, U.S. State Department spokes man Nancy Beck said that U.S. officials received a copy of the report and that they were studying it. She made no further comment.
Mirza, who led the four Pakistani representatives and six U.S. Air Force officers on the team said they found no conclusive evidence to deter mine the method of sabotage.
All 30 aboard were killed, including U.S. Amassa saddor Adaron Rapalé; and U.S. defense adviser, Briz
Gen. Herbert M. Wassom; and five Pakistani generals.
Mirza said investigators sifting through the debris found chemicals often used in explosives but no remnants of a detonator, which would have indicated a small explosion aboard the plane.
He said the phrase "criminal act" referred to the possibility that the pilot or co-plot could have disrupted cockpit controls intentionally, causing the crash in an open field.
Because there was no voice recorder aboard the aircraft, he said, it was impossible to determine whether the plane was on fire.
