Afghan plane crash search hindered by snow

Snow clouds closed over Kabul early today, complicating plans for Nato and government forces to resume their search for a passenger jet carrying 104 people, including about 21 foreigners, after it disappeared near the mountain-ringed Afghan capital.

Relatives and officials expressed growing doubts that any of the missing can be found alive after the plane vanished on Thursday in what could turn out to be the war-ravaged country’s deadliest aviation disaster.
