US aircraft carrying a corpse and cash impounded in Zimbabwe

Drama in the skies. On Sunday, workers at Harare Airport in Zimbabwe discovered blood leaking from a Western Global Airlines MD-11 that had stopped to refuel, en route from Germany to South Africa. After the aircraft was impounded, a dead body and “millions of South African rand” were found on board. While the incident has led to some very salacious reports in the media, this one from The New York Times is far more restrained.
