Doctors and service staff lift the body of a Belarussian pilot out of a box at a hospital in Minsk March 30, 2007. The bodies of 11 Belarus citizens who were killed when their plane crashed in Somalia a week ago returned to Minsk on Friday. Belarus said on March 24, 2007 a missile caused a plane crash in Mogadishu that killed 11 of its citizens, while the Somali government said the incident looked more like an accident than an attack by ever bolder insurgents.
