on board crashed today near the Comoros Islands over the Indian Ocean.
The Airbus SAS A310 plane was 15 minutes from landing in the Comoros Islands when it
disappeared over the ocean, a Yemenia official, Taha al-Ashwal, said in a telephone interview
from the Yemeni capital, Sana’a.
It wasn’t immediately known if anyone survived, al-Ashwal said, adding officials “lost contact”
with the aircraft at 1 a.m. Wreckage of the jet was spotted off the coast of Comoros and some
bodies were seen floating in the ocean about 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the town of Moroni,
