Iran officials find wreckage of deadly plane crash

The twin-engine turboprop ATR-72 plane, which was 20 years old, left the Iranian capital at 8.05am local time (0435 GMT) on Sunday for a 350-mile (560km) internal journey, officials said. Footage broadcast on state television showed frantic scenes at the Yasuj airport with families in a state of disbelief. “Please pray for them to come back alive,” a young woman, in tears, told the interviewer.
