BRUSSELS, Aug 2 (Reuters) - The bodies of two apparent stowaways were found in the landing
gear of a Sabena plane a few hours after the aircraft landed in Brussels on Monday.

The bodies of two males were found in the landing gear of the Airbus A330-300 plane at about 9:30a.m (0730 GMT) while the plane was being refueled, Wilfred Remans, a spokesman for Belgian national airline Sabena told Reuters.

The plane, which had originated in Conakry, Guinea, and also stopped in Bamako, Mali, had arrived in Brussels at about 0400 GMT.

Remans said a police investigation had been launched. The ages and identity of the victims were not yet known.
