TEHRAN (Reuters) - At least 50 people were rescued from an Iranian passenger jet which crashed in bad weather on Sunday near the northwestern city of Urumiyeh, the semi-official Fars news agency quoted an official as saying.

Fars said there were 105 people on board, but state TV put the number at 156.
