VILNIUS, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Lithuania is leaning towards

a technical cause for the crash on Monday of a DHL

cargo plane as it came in to land at Vilnius airport, the

country's National Crisis Management Center said on Wednesday.

"We are leaning toward the technical version," Vilmantas

Vitkauskas, head of Lithuania's National Crisis Management

Center told reporters in Vilnius.

"If we get additional data we might change our

direction, but we don't have it at the moment," he added.
