Comoros: Child rescued alive in Airbus 310 crash
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 30 - 06 - 2009

A Comoros police official says a child has been rescued alive from the sea in the Airbus 310 crash off
the Indian Ocean island.
Immigrations officer with the Comoros operations, Rachida
Abdullah, says a toddler was rescued from the crash site
Tuesday.
Abdullah told The Associated Press that three bodies have
also been retrieved, along with debris from the plane, but
that no other survivors have been recovered so far.
She said the rescue and search operation is going on since
4 a.m. Tuesday.
The Yemeni Airbus 310 crashed with 142 passengers and a
crew of 11 Yemenis on board before landing in Moroni, on
the main island of Grand Comore, early on Tuesday.
Most of the passengers were from Comoros, returning from
Paris. Sixty-six on board were French nationals.
