At least 116 feared dead in Air Algerie plane crash over Africa

An Air Algerie plane bound for Algiers from Burkina Faso was confirmed to have crashed 70 kilometres from Gao, Mali. The New York Times reported that 116 on board, including the crew, were feared dead. The situation in northern Mali has remained unstable since after it was seized by jihadist groups for several months in 2012. The Bamako government and armed groups recently launched tough talks aimed at securing an elusive peace deal.
