Report: At least 100 dead as Sudan Airways plane burns

(CNN) — At least 100 people were killed Tuesday when a Sudan Airways plane caught fire after landing in Khartoum, Sudan, according to officials and Sudanese television reports.

Sudanese television reported more than 200 people were on the plane. Several injured people were taken to a hospital, the network said, but the number of injured was not immediately known.

The plane was arriving from Amman, Jordan, airport security officials said, and was landing in bad weather when it overshot the runway, crashed and caught fire. “Many people” are believed dead, an official said.

However, it was not clear whether the plane actually crashed. The chief of the Khartoum airport told Al-Jazeera Arabic network the plane landed safely, but an explosion occurred in one of its engines before it came to a stop, about 10 minutes after the plane had landed.
