A Cuban airliner flying from the eastern city of Santiago de Cuba to the capital Havana crashed with 68 people aboard, including 28 foreigners. State media reported that Aero-Caribbean Flight 883 went down near the village of Guasimal in Santi Spiritus province yesterday after declaring an emergency. There was no immediate word on whether any one survived, as the names of those on board would be released later. The plane was an ATR-72 twin turboprop and that the crash site was not far from the Zaza reservoir, the largest in Cuba. It said authorities had mobilised doctors and emergency workers in the rural area, which is about 220 miles east of Havana. At Havana's national terminal, relatives of those on board the plane were kept isolated from other passengers and journalists. State media gave no details on what happened to the airliner, saying only that the cause of the crash was being investigated.
