A US military transport aircraft has crashed in Pakistan, the White House said on Wednesday.
''I can confirm that there has been a plane crash in Pakistan involving a KC-130,'' White House spokesman Ari Fleischer told reporters, saying US President George W Bush had been informed. He gave no further details, saying that the US Department of Defence was investigating the crash.
The KC-130 is a Marine Corps aircraft and normally carries a crew of up to eight persons. The aircraft is a refueling version of the C-130 military cargo plane and can also be used to carry passengers. Bureau Report
