Air France jet wreckage found

Brazil's military has found the wreckage of the Air France passenger jet that disappeared with 228 people on board, the country's defence minister says.Nelson Jobim said on Tuesday that there was "no doubt" that Flight AF447 had crashed into the Atlantic after Brazilian military aircraft found debris along a 5km stretch of the ocean.Speaking in Rio de Janerio, Jobim said that the find "confirms that the plane went down in that area", hundreds of kilometres from the Brazilian archipelago of Fernando de Noronha.No bodies have yet been spotted among what was said to be metallic and non-metallic debris.
