Ethiopian plane's black boxes found

Search teams have located the black boxes from an Ethiopian aircraft that crashed off the Lebanese coast on Monday.

A Lebanese army officer said the flight recorders' signals had been detected and they appeared to be at a depth of about 1,300 metres and about 10km from Beirut's seaside airport.

But search teams have not yet been able to recover the boxes.

Lebanese and international search teams, a US naval vessel, and peacekeeping ships, helicopters, planes and divers from Europe and the UN, have been scouring the Mediterranean coast for the victims, plane's fuselage and flight data recorders.
