Spiegel online says it's a Cessna C501. It was enroute from MUC to Kirkuk with a fuel stop in Baku. Very sad news indeed.

Crazy shit man. I wonder what those guys were doing for a living. Not implying they were criminals, but crashing in the Iraqi desert in a private jet is a kind of exotic way to pop yer clogs.


Yes! Senator Obama. We are ready to believe again.

Quoting Cedarjet (Reply 2):

The passengers were employees of a German company that produces dry mortar/concrete and were invited by the Iraqi government. They were supposed to advise the government within the framework of an international reconstruction program for the local construction industry. In addition the aircraft had one Iraqi government representative on board an a German expert for Iraq.
