Wreckage from missing plane found in Indonesia

Wreckage from a plane that went missing over Indonesia's rugged Papua region with 16 people on board was found Tuesday in dense jungle, an airline executive said. Search and rescue teams are trying to land in the area by helicopter but there is little hope any passengers or crew, all Indonesians, will be found alive.

An airborne search team saw the wreckage near Ampisibil village in Bintang Mountains Regency at 2100 GMT, at a height of 2,850 metres. The site of the crash is about 37km south of Oksibil. - AFP
