Dozens of people are believed to have died in a plane crash in Benin, police and witnesses say.
The passenger plane went down on Thursday after taking off from the main city, Cotonou. It was headed for Beirut in Lebanon.
A witness quoted by Reuters news agency said he had seen more than 30 bodies lined up on the beach near the plane.
Some witnesses say about 60 people have been killed. There is no word on what caused the crash.
One of the crewmembers on board, who survived the disaster, told local journalists that most of the passengers were Lebanese.
