Colombia investigates military plane crash that killed 69 as doctors identify victims
Forensic experts in Colombia worked Wednesday to identify the remains of 69 security forces killed in a military transport plane crash in the country's southwest, while authorities investigated the cause of the accident. Alfridis Julio waited outside the forensic institute in the Colombian capital of Bogota to seek information about his son, 19-year-old soldier Kaleth Julio Severiche, who was on a list of the dead in Monday's accident in Putomayo province, but whose remains have not yet been confirmed. It crashed a minute later about 1.8 kilometers (1.1 mile) from the airport runway, according to the Colombian Aerospace Force.
