CHISINAU, April 11 (Reuters) - A Soviet-made cargo plane crashed on Friday after taking off from Chisinau airport, killing the eight people on board, sources close to the Moldovan emergency services said.

The AN-32 cargo plane, widely used in the former Soviet Union, was bound for the Turkish Mediterranean resort of Antalya, they said. It crashed after taking off and attempting an emergency landing.

Russian news agencies said the plane was owned by a Sudanese company but the crew was Moldovan. (Writing by Ron Popeski, editing by Tim Pearce)
