US sanctions blamed for Sudanese air disaster

[dArKeR]

A team of experts have recovered the black box recorder from the ghastly scene of charred corpses at the Port Sudan site where a Boeing 737 crashed with the loss of 116 lives.

The only survivor was a three-year-old boy. Initial reports on the disaster on Tuesday cited a technical fault.

Boeing had provided technical information about the jet to investigators but had not yet been invited by either the Sudanese airline or the United States National Transportation Safety Board to the crash site, said Liz Verdier, speaking for the company.

'There was no way of performing the Muslim ritual of washing the bodies'
Earlier, the Sudanese foreign minister, in Maputo for the African Union summit, claimed that US sanctions - which had prevented access to new aircraft parts - were directly responsible for the crash.
