ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) — The head of Algeria's civil defense says recovery operations for a military transport that crashed on Tuesday are complete despite the difficult conditions.
The C-130 transport crashed on Tuesday into Mount Fortas in eastern Algeria, about 300 miles (500 kilometers) from the capital, killing 77 people on board, including three women and a girl, according to the Defense Ministry.
The sole survivor is a 21-year-old soldier who is in a coma after sustaining head injuries.
