YANGON, July 2 (Reuters) - A Myanmar Airways turboprop on a domestic 
chartered cargo flight crashed a few minutes before landing in western 
Myanmar on Friday and all eight people aboard were feared dead, industry 
sources said.

The sources, who work in the air cargo industry and did not want to be 
identified, said the Fokker aircraft crashed about five minutes before it 
was due to land at Sittwe, about 560 km (350 miles) northwest of Yangon. 
Airline and government officials declined to comment.
