A statement by Moroccan authorities reported that there were 78 fatalities and that the plane was carrying 60 members of the Moroccan Armed Forces, 12 civilians, and nine RMAF crew members. Three injured survivors were rescued, but eventually died of their injuries. The number of fatalities was later revised to 80 when it was discovered that a passenger who had not boarded the plane had been mistakenly included in the total.〔 Workers have recovered the bodies of 42 victims.〔 The aircraft has been identified as ''CNA-OQ'', a C-130H built in 1981.〔("Picture of crash site" ) Daily Mail〕 It was travelling from Dakhla Airport in the Western Sahara to Kenitra Air Base, with a scheduled stop-over in Guelmim.〔 The aircraft crashed into Sayyert Mountain approximately from Guelmin.〔 Authorities are investigating bad weather as a potential cause.
