8 killed as plane crashes in wealthy Mexico City neighborhood
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
A small plane carrying Mexico's interior minister and a former attorney general crashed in a wealthy Mexico City neighborhood Tuesday, killing at least eight people and injuring dozens more, officials said.
Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard said there were no survivors, but government officials did not confirm that Interior Secretary Juan Camilo Mourino and former assistant attorney general Jose Luis Santiago Vasconcelos had died.
Ebrard said "there is no other possibility" of survivors considering the force of the crash, which set two dozen cars ablaze and spread pieces of wreckage across a wide area.
The flight was traveling from the city of San Luis Potosi to Mexico City.
Secretary of Transportation Luis Tellez confirmed that Mourino and Vasconcelos were aboard.
