Bodies Found From Afghan Jet Crash

ABC Online report:

The first bodies from an Afghan plane which crashed and killed 104 people have been recovered from a frozen mountainside where they have been lying for the past 11 days.

Bad weather had until now prevented troops from removing any corpses from the site east of the capital Kabul, where the Kam Air Boeing 737 came down on February 3.

"As part of the ongoing safety operation, the Afghan National Army found several bodies and they have been carried out to Kabul airport," the Defence Ministry said in a statement.

"After the identities of the bodies have been established they will be handed over to their families."

All 104 people on board were declared dead last Tuesday by the investigation committee. Twenty-four were foreign nationals. The flight data recorder was located and has been sent to the U.S. for analysis. The cockpit voice recorder has not been found yet.
