Americans deny spy plane accident

AFP | July 9 2004

US Air Force authorities have denied local media reports that an American U2 spy plane had crashed in South Korea.

"There was no accident involving US aircraft today," Arthur Bosker, a spokesman of the 7th US Air Force based in Osan, south of Seoul, said to AFP.

Another senior US military official said: "All US aircraft are safe on the ground. The reports are not true."

Earlier today, KBS television and Yonhap news agency reported that a high altitude surveillance plane had crashed, without providing further details.

A U2 crashed in January last year in a remote region south of Seoul. The US pilot survived unharmed while three people on the ground were injured.

Around 37,000 American troops are based in South Korea to help counter any threat from the Stalinist North.

The two halves of the peninsula are still technically at war, more than 50 years after the end of the Korean war.

Pyongyang has accused US spy planes of increasing surveillance missions over the country since President George W. Bush took office.
