The five Chinese aboard the Kenya Airways flight that
disappeared in southern Cameroon early on Saturday have been
identified.
The Chinese Embassy to Cameroon told China News Service that
three out of the five boarded at Abidjan, the largest city in
western Africa's Cote d'Ivoire. The first passenger, male, Jiang
Xuedong, is an employee with a Chinese fishery company in Cote
d'Ivoire. The other two, Bian Jingzhong and Shi Weisha, are a
couple, who have their own business in Abidjan.
Another two Chinese passengers, male, got on the plane in
Douala, the capital of western Cameroon's Littoral Province. One is
Liu Sheng, an employee with Shenzhen-based Huawei Technologies. The
other is Wu Changgen from Jiangsu Province. Wu was on a business
tour in Cameroon.
The Kenya Airways plane carried at least 114 people on
board.
Kenyan authorities said they were doing everything possible to
locate the aircraft.
