Wreckage of Yemeni jet picked up

COMOROS, July 03 (Saba) - Searchers for the debris of a
Yemeni jetliner which crashed into the Indian Ocean on Tuesday have
recovered some pieces of the airplane, Yemeni officials said Friday.

The Committee on Monitoring Aviation Accidents said in a statement
new French instruments that could help find the debris of the
airliner have been provided in an effort to find the Black Box
Recorders.

Early Tuesday, the Yemenia passenger jet, IY 626 flight came down in
the ocean off the Republic of Comoros with 153 passengers and a crew
onboard.

Few bodies have been recovered so far.

Only a 14-year-old French girl could survive the crash, which
reports earlier blamed on bad weather.

The flight was on a trip from France, Yemen and via Djibouti to
Moroni, capital of the Comorian Republic.

Investigations are underway.
