French colonel and commander of the French Air Base in Dakar Laurent Mathou speaks during a press conference on June 3, 2009 at the French Air Base in Dakar. The means to find the wreckage of the Air France Airbus A330 from France's Air Base in Dakar were "reinforced" today with the addition of a plane equipped with an 'airborne warning and control system' (Awacs) radar, Mathou announced. The Airbus A330 was carrying 228 people -- most of them French or Brazilian -- when it came down early on June 1, four hours into its 11-hour voyage from Rio de Janeiro to Paris.
