An airplane carrying 15 people, including a lawmaker, crashed near Colombia's border with Venezuela on Wednesday, January 28, killing all passengers and crew, Colombia's civil aviation authority said.
The plane, which was operated by state airline Satena, took off from the border city of Cucuta and lost contact with control towers shortly before it was due to land in nearby Ocana around noon (1700GMT).
"There are no survivors," an official from the aviation authority told AFP. There were 13 passengers and two crew members aboard.
