Bodies of S Korean victims in Cambodian plane crash to be sent home
POSTED: 9:58 a.m. EDT, June 28,2007
All the bodies of the 13 South Korean victims in the plane crash on Monday will be sent to their home country Thursday or Friday for funeral ceremony, Cambodian officials said Wednesday.

"The South Korean side is trying to hire a special flight from here directly to South Korea to carry all victims," Nhim Vanda, head of the National Disaster Management Committee (NDMC) of Cambodia, told Xinhua late Wednesday.

The bodies of South Korean victims are kept in the Khmer-Soviet Friendship Hospital in Phnom Penh now, he added.

Meanwhile, Timur Zevakhin, spokesman of the Russian embassy in Phnom Penh, said the plane's crew chief was Nikolay Pavlenko from Uzbekistan, not a Russian as originally reported by Cambodian officials.

There were no survivors out of the 22 people on board the crashed plane, government spokesman and Information Minister Khieu Kanharith confirmed on Wednesday.

Among the people on board, 16 were tourists, with 13 from South Korea and three from Czech, and the rest were crew members, including five Cambodians and a citizen of Uzbekistan.

The U4 241 Flight from Cambodia's PMT Air flying from Siem Reapto Sihanoukville crashed on the mountain at around 10:50 a.m. on Monday, making the worst air accident in Cambodia in the past decade.
