Italy crash victim had UK-US citizenship
A victim of an air crash in Italy is believed to have held joint British and American citizenship.
The Foreign Office are trying to confirm the identity of the woman and contact relatives.
A total of 118 people died when an airliner crashed into a building as it swerved to avoid another plane at Milan's Linate airport.
Most of the victims are thought to be Italian or Scandinavian.
"We believe that one woman held joint American and British citizenship," said a Foreign Office spokesman. "We cannot say any more at this stage."
An SAS spokeswoman said she could not comment on any nationalities of the victims.
Italy's Interior Ministry said the accident was probably caused by "human error" compounded by poor visibility due to the heavy morning fog.
The pilot of the SAS plane, an MD 87 carrying about 104 passengers and six crew members, swerved off the runway as he was taxiing to avoid a Cessna light aircraft which crossed his path.
The SAS aircraft, which had been due to take off for Copenhagen, flew into a small baggage deposit building, sparking a fire.
Some of the victims were airport workers in the building.
Four of the dead were aboard the Cessna, which was destroyed by the fire.
