Russian crew still missing

    JOHANNESBURG

    Russia said it was deeply concerned about the fate of six Russian crewmen of planes shot down over Angola last year and who were apparently freed by UNITA rebels two weeks ago.

    UNITA said earlier this month that it had freed the men. "We've got neither information on where our compatriots are, nor of their fate," the Russian foreign ministry was quoted by media reports as saying.
