Morocco military plane crash kills 78

Seventy-eight people were killed when a Moroccan military aircraft crashed into a mountain in the south of the country, the army says.
The army said three other people were severely wounded in the crash, in what is thought to be one of Morocco's deadliest air disasters in years.
The C-130 Hercules aircraft crashed near Guelmim, just north of the disputed Western Sahara territory.
