US plane crashes in Colombia

Two US citizens are dead after an American Government plane crash-landed in territory held by Marxist rebels in the south of Colombia.

The American Embassy has refused to confirm whether or not its citizens died during the landing or were killed afterwards.

Two other Americans and a Colombian aboard were missing when troops reached the plane's burning wreckage near Florencia, Caqueta Province, 380 kilometres (235 miles) south of the capital Bogota.
