Wreckage of Algeria passenger plane found in Mali

The wreck of a plane that disappeared with 116 people on board on a flight from Burkina Faso to Algiers has been found in Mali, officials say.

The Burkina Faso army said the plane, operated by Algeria's national airline Air Algerie, had crashed about 50km (30 miles) from the Burkinabe border.

Air traffic controllers lost contact with the plane early on Thursday after pilots reported severe storms.

1. That would mean the wreckage is about 100km south of Gao

That's the 3rd place it's been reported - there's also been 'between Aguelhoc and Kidal' - about 400km north of Gao, and Tilemsi - 500km west of Gao.

Or maybe it's Gossi - 100km west of Gao.
