Authorities in Africa and the United States are looking for a Boeing 727 jet missing from Angola since late last month under suspicious circumstances. The Boeing 727 has been missing since it took off under mysterious circumstances from Luanda airport in the southwest African country of Angola more than two weeks ago.

The country’s minister of transportation later indicated the aircraft’s disappearance would lead to stepped up security at Luanda airport. Full Story
