By MOHAMED OSMAN and TANALEE SMITH Associated Press Writers July 31, 2005 The Associated Press
KHARTOUM, Sudan A U.N. official said search crews on Monday found the site of a helicopter crash and a body they believe is that of Sudan's vice president, a former rebel leader who is a key figure in a fledgling peace deal between the predominantly Arab Muslim government and the Christian south.
Ugandan and Sudanese forces had been searching for John Garang's helicopter since Sunday and Uganda's president said it had crashed in bad weather in the border region between the two countries.
Search crews had reached the crash site Monday and found a body they believed was that of Garang, a U.N. official in Khartoum said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information. He said a U.N. helicopter had arrived in the area to help with the search, but did not provide more details
