There are no survivors from the Air Algerie AH5017 passenger jet that
crashed in Mali, says the French President, Francois Hollande. Mr
Hollande said one flight data recorder had been recovered, after
French troops reached the crash site near Mali's border with Burkina
Faso. Air traffic controllers lost contact with the plane early on
Thursday after pilots reported severe storms. The 116 passengers on
the Air Algerie flight included 51 French citizens.
