MOSCOW, Russia (AP) -- A passenger jet heading to Iran with at least 83 people aboard crashed Sunday near the main airport in Kyrgyzstan, Kyrgyz and U.S. officials said.
Russia's Interfax news agency quoted an unidentified airport official as saying there were casualties, but that could not immediately be confirmed.
The Boeing 737 crashed near the Bishkek airport, Maj. Damian Pickart, public affairs officer for the Manas U.S. air base, told The Associated Press. The U.S. air base is at Bishkek's airport. Pickart said there were 83 people aboard.
