VILNIUS (Reuters) - Lithuanian prosecutors said on Wednesday they believe that human error was the likely cause of the crash of a DHL cargo airplane in Vilnius in November and have asked Spanish authorities to question the pilot as a suspect.

The Boeing (BA.N) 737-400 cargo jet operated by Spain's Swiftair crashed as it came in to land at Lithuania's Vilnius airport in the early morning of Nov. 25 as it came in to land after a flight from Leipzig in Germany.
