TEHRAN, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) — A plane used for flight training crashed in northern Iran on Saturday, killing two people on board, the semi-official Mehr news agency reported.
The plane crashed in the city of Karaj, west of Tehran, after taking off from Payam airport at 7:00 a.m. (0230 GMT). The cause of the accident is still under investigation.
Saturday’s accident was the latest one added to the poor air safety record of Iran, which has seen a series of aviation disasters over the past one month.
