Mogadishu - A small aircraft delivering khat from Kenya to Somalia crashed south of Mogadishu on Wednesday, killing all three crew members on board, an airport official and witnesses said."There was a lot of humidity in the airport area, the plane circled twice over the landing zone, eventually hit a telephone line two kilometres away and crashed," K-50 airport official Bashir Hasan said."We rushed to the scene but unfortunately we couldn't find anybody alive. We collected the burnt remains of three people," he said, adding he believed two of the victims were Kenyans and the other an Arab national."We discovered the bodies of three men and they seem to be the crew of the plane," said Mohamed Abdullahi Nur, a khat trader.
