The Brazilian air force announced last night 4 June that the debris it had recovered from the sea near the presumed crash site of the Air France Airbus A330 was not in fact from the stricken jet. Referring to a wooden pallet, General Ramon Borges Cardoso, the air force spokesman, said it did not come from the cargo hold of the plane, as reported yesterday. Fuel slicks seen from the air were reportedly also not kerosene from the plane but oil from a ship. BBC, Le Monde/AFP (Fre)
