Sub to join plane search

A Lebanese army official said yesterday a vessel carrying a submarine is on its way to help in the search for an Ethiopian Airlines plane that crashed last week south of Beirut.

The Boeing 737 crashed into the Mediterranean Sea on Jan. 25 just minutes after takeoff from Beirut in a fierce thunderstorm. All 90 people on board were presumed dead and the plane's black box and main body have not been found.
