Twenty bodies have yet to be found after Wednesday's crash in Siberia of an Aeroflot passenger jet that claimed the lives of all 75 aboard, AFP reports from Hong Kong. Vassili Tkachenko, the Russian carrier's Hong Kong manager, said the Airbus A310, on a flight from Moscow to Hong Kong, was nearly intact when it hit the ground. Officials in Moscow have not ruled out terrorism as the reason why the aircraft vanished after a suspicious 19-minute break in radio contact.
