An airliner belonging to Yemeni state carrier Yemenia Air has crashed in the Indian Ocean's Comoros archipelago with 150 people on board. A senior government official said it was unclear whether there were any survivors. The plane is thought to have crashed in the early hours of this morning. "We don't know if there are any survivors among the 150 people on the plane," Idi Nadhoim, the Comoros vice-president told Reuters from the airport at the main island's capital, Moroni.
The location was not immediately known, but a medical worker in the town of Mitsamiouli, on the main island Grande Comore, said he had been called in to its hospital. "They have just called me to come to the hospital. They said a plane had crashed," he said. The Comoros covers three small volcanic islands, Grande Comore, Anjouan and Moheli, in the Mozambique channel,190 miles northwest of Madagascar and a similar distance east of the African mainland.
