KATHMANDU, Feb 7 (Reuters): An aircraft that crashed in Nepal last month, killing 71 people on board, had no thrust motion in its engines in the final leg of its descent, a government-appointed panel investigating the accident has announced.

The plane crashed just before landing in the tourist city of Pokhra on Jan. 15, in one of Nepal's worst airplane accidents in 30 years.
