Four people were killed in a light plane crash in Iceland.
And the Associated Press quoted the Icelandic Coast Guard as saying in a statement that rescue teams had found the bodies of the four victims who were on board the Cessna 172 plane that crashed late yesterday into a lake while transporting tourists from the United States, the Netherlands and Belgium on a tourist trip.
The statement added that the wreckage of the plane was found in the lake, about 50 km east of the capital, Reykjavik, during a search and rescue operation in which more than 1,000 people participated, including divers, boats and two coastguard helicopters.
