KATHMAHDU, Aug 24 (Reuters) - A small plane went missing over Nepal on Tuesday with at least 13 people aboard, including six foreigners, an official said.

The Angi Air plane was en-route to Lukla, gateway to Mount Everest in east Nepal, when it vanished in rough weather, airline official Abhinas Sijapati told Reuters.

The nationality of the foreigners was not immediately known, he said.
Eighteen people, 12 of them Germans, were killed when a small plane crashed two years ago in Lukla.
