Nepalese officials confirmed all 22 people on board a plane that crashed two days earlier were killed after rescuers found and recovered the final body from the wreckage. All bodies have been transported to Kathmandu by helicopter from the crash site in the Himalayas, local media reported. The bodies were to be identified and then handed over to relatives. The black box was found and is now being evaluated, a member of the recovery team said. The plane's wreckage was found at an altitude of almost 4,500 metres in Sanosware in Mustang, a Himalayan district north-west of Kathmandu, more than 20 hours after it was first reported missing, according to the Ministry of Culture Tourism and Civil Aviation. — dpa
