French Defence minister Jean-Yves Le Drian delivers a press conference at the Quai d’Orsay on June 25, 2014 with behind him an image released by ECPAD showing the wreckage of the Air Algerie flight AH5017 which crashed in Mali’s Gossi region, west of Gao, the day before. The first images of the Air Algerie crash site in Mali emerged on July 25, showing a stark terrain littered with bits of a plane that appears to have been pulverised on impact. France announced there were no survivors among the 118 people on board the Air Algerie flight that crashed over Mali, saying bad weather was the likely cause of the disaster.
