Albanian and US rescuers today recovered some bodies from the wreckage of an US aircraft that crashed in the Balkan country and killed nine people aboard.

The US military C-130 plane was taking part in a joint exercise with Albanian forces when it crashed last night into Driza Mountain in the district of Gramsh, 60 miles south-east of capital, Tirana.

An Albanian official today said four bodies had so far been recovered from the wreckage of the plane and rescuers were searching for the remains of the other five killed. The dead were all American.
