The death toll in the crash of a Bolivian military cargo plane carrying banknotes near the capital La Paz has risen to 22, officials said Saturday, warning it may take more than a year to figure out why it happened.

The aircraft, a C-130 Hercules transport plane -- manufactured by Lockheed Martin -- crashed after veering off the runway at El Alto International Airport on Friday, destroying multiple cars and damaging trucks.
