1998 passenger plane crash in Kabul, Afghanistan
On 19 March 1998, a Boeing 727 passenger jet operated by Ariana Afghan Airlines crashed on approach into Kabul, Afghanistan, killing all 45 people aboard. The flight may have been involved in smuggling and Islamist militants' operations, as Ariana was at that time controlled by the Taliban-led Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan regime.
