Plane crash kills Sudan minister
South Sudan's defence minister has been killed in a plane crash involving about 20 people, according to officials in Khartoum and the south.
Defence Minister Dominic Dim was aboard the plane with other passengers returning from a conference, said a source in the southern capital, Juba.
There were no immediate details of other casualties with one report saying the plane had crash-landed.
A presidential adviser was reportedly also aboard the plane.
Justin Yak was killed along with Mr Dim, according to sources in South Sudan's governing Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM), which were quoted by Reuters news agency.
South Sudanese Deputy Prime Minister Riek Mashar told AFP the plane had come down about 375km (220 miles) west of Juba.
Saying he believed all 23 people aboard were dead, he gave no reason for the crash but ruled out an attack, the agency said.
The United Nations has sent a helicopter to the crash site.
Three years ago, the president of South Sudan, John Garang, was killed in a helicopter crash.
The region has had an autonomous government since the 2005 peace deal which ended decades of war with Khartoum.

That’s a bad news indeed, if it is true! My sadness goes to all the families of the deceased, their relatives, and their friends. And may our Lord Jesus Christ rest their souls in peace. This is a great loss for all of us, but still we should forge ahead with courage and unity so that we can achieve our destiny in 2011. Dominic and Justin Yac will be missed a lot, especially during this Interim period where we are now fighting our enemy with pens, and strategies of convincing foreigners to support our cause. May God bless their families and the remained leaders to stand firm in the midst of all this tragedy.
I am deeply saddened by the news!
Yours in the struggle,
David Mai Tang

This is indeed a very terrible news!
May God bless the soul of all deceased ones and mercy on them. South Sudan need them in this transition period, but we missed them now and we wouldn't find their replacement forever.
May Almighty God comport their Loved ones,
Peter Dak
