Rescuers have found the wreckage of a Norwegian military plane that crashed with five people on board during an exercise in northern Sweden, officials said Saturday. Parts of the C-130 cargo aircraft were found scattered over a glacier on mount Kebnekaise, Sweden's highest mountain, rescue spokesman Mathias Hansson told The Associated Press. Hansson said the crew had not been found, but "there is nothing that indicates" they had survived the crash. "There are a lot of wreckage parts spread out over a large area. It suggests it was a major impact," Hansson said.
