Emotional funeral for Iran plane crash victims
12/9/2005
 

          TEHRAN, Dec 8 (AFP): Tens of thousands of mourners packed central Tehran Thursday for a mass funeral for dozens of people killed when a military plane ploughed into a densely populated area of the Iranian capital.
With the authorities facing furious allegations that the decrepit plane should never have taken to the air, several officials sought to calm emotions by promising a full investigation into the disaster.
Official media said 106 bodies were recovered from the scene of the crash while an additional two people died in hospital. Among the dead were 68 journalists and photographers who were flying to the south of the country to report on army exercises.
