LONDON, England (AP) -- The

Sudanese government has confirmed that Vice President John Garang was killed

when a Ugandan presidential aircraft he was traveling in crashed into a

southern Sudan mountain range.

" It has now been confirmed that the plane crashed after

it hit a mountain range in southern Sudan because of poor visibility and this

resulted in the death of Dr. John Garang DeMabior, six of his colleagues and

seven other crew members of the Ugandan presidential plane, " according to

a statement released by the office of Sudanese President Omar el-Bashir on

Monday.

Ugandan officials said Garang and the others were flying in

one of President Yoweri Museveni's personal helicopters, but the Sudanese

statement said it was a plane. The conflict could not be immediately

reconciled.

The bodies of Garang, six colleagues and seven crew members

were found early Monday in rugged mountains running along the Sudanese-Ugandan

border.

The Sudanese military said the aircraft left the Ugandan

capital of Kampala for southern Sudan on Saturday at about 6:30 p.m.. Contact was lost with about an hour later, Sudanese information

minister Abdel-Basit Sabdarat said on Sunday.
