Compiled From Wire Services

A Colombian cargo plane caught fire in the air shortly after takeoff Sunday and crashed into a suburban neighborhood, killing at least 23 people.

The dead included the plane’s three-person crew and one passenger.

Among the victims were seven children, including five brothers, who had been playing an outdoor volleyball match in the streets of the Juan Sinforiano Bogarin neighborhood, 2-1/2 miles northwest of the airport and 9 miles north of the capital.
