One dead in Milan crash

At least one person is reported to have died inside a Milan skyscraper after a small plane crashed into it.

In Rome, senate president, Marcello Pera, said the crash at Milan's Pirelli skyscraper was ‘‘very probably’’ a terrorist attack.

But immediately after that statement, state TV said the plane had apparently radioed an SOS because of engine trouble.

Italian TV reported that many people were injured and two floors were destroyed.
