A Yemeni aviation committee says pieces of wreckage from the passenger jet that crashed off the Comoros islands have been recovered.
The committee overseeing the investigation says divers brought up pieces of the Airbus 310's fuselage.
It said Saturday that Yemeni, French and Comoron officials listened to the communication between the control tower and Yemenia airlines Flight 626 before it went down on Tuesday but gave no details.
So far, only a 12-year-old girl has been rescued. Hopes of finding survivors among the other 152 people on board the flight from Paris were dim.
After days of protests by Comorons in France against the airline, Yemenia ordered its flights to Comoros suspended. Protesters claim the aircraft are unsafe.
