17 Bodies Recovered from Air France Crash

(Recife, Brazil) Regarding last week's Air France disaster, two bodies were recovered Saturday and 15 more today. No details are being released about the bodies. The search and investigation continue.

The Pentagon has said there are no signs of terrorism. Brazil's defense minister said the possibility was never considered. French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner agreed that there is no evidence supporting a "terrorism theory," but said "we cannot discard that for now."

The U.S. Navy is sending two high-tech devices to French ships that will help them locate the black boxes, a senior U.S. defense official said Saturday.

The Towed Pinger Locators, which can detect emergency beacons to a depth of 20,000 feet (6,100 meters), are being flown to Brazil on Monday with a U.S. Navy team, said the official, who requested anonymity because the decision has not been announced.

There's a lot of interest in this crash and speculation is imaginative. Although there is "no more doubt" that wreckage found is from Flight 447, few facts are confirmed.
