NATO helicopters found the wreckage of an Afghan airliner on Saturday that crashed into a mountain top during a snow storm near Kabul two days ago with 104 people on board.
Authorities said they were still searching for any survivors, after saying earlier all 96 passengers and eight crew had been killed, and were investigating the cause of the crash of the Boeing 737.
Taliban commander Mullah Dadullah said his guerrillas had not shot down the plane and that the group was very saddened by the crash.
The airliner had been flying to Kabul from the western city of Herat, a busy route for Afghan businessmen and foreign aid workers. It disappeared off radar screens three minutes after turning away from the capital's airport due to poor visibility.
