Greek army detachments today found the bodies of the passengers and crew of an Israel-bound Czechoslovak airliner which crashed near Kalamara, in the Peloponnesus, last week. There were no survivors.
Nineteen of the 24 were Jews–some refugee immigrants and others religious leaders and businessmen. There were eleven men, six women, and seven children. The army units, which reached the scene after fighting with Markos troops in the area, reported that all the bodies were stripped of clothes.
