No clues on plane

POLEWALI (Indonesia): Rescuers scoured the ocean for a missing jetliner on Wednesday, one day after senior Indonesian officials erroneously said the Boeing 737's charred wreckage had been found in a remote mountainous area and that a dozen persons had survived. Three naval ships set sail soon after sunrise in the Makkasar Strait and five Air Force planes took to the skies, searching for signs of the plane, said Bambang Karnoyudho, head of the National Search and Rescue Agency. But as night fell, nothing had been found, officials said. — AP
