Bangladeshi scuba divers, attached with the United Nations peacekeeping force in South Sudan, on Thursday searched the Nile for victims and the black box flight recorder from a plane crash in which at least 41 people died, reports AFP.
The divers were scouring the White Nile river around the crash site, the UN mission said.
Police and rescue workers recovered the bodies of 36 men, women and children among the wreckage of the An-12 cargo plane, which crashed into a farming community on an island in the White Nile river, seconds after departure.
The main fuselage of the plane ploughed into thick woodland but the debris was scattered over a wide area around the riverbank, as well as into the river itself.
Japanese engineers with the UN later arrived to help lift larger sections of the plane wreck, amid concerns the bodies of more victims may be trapped beneath the metal fuselage.
