Brazil: Senegal took control of doomed flight

BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) - Brazil’s air force has released a recording it says proves it handed over control of Air France Flight 447 to Senegalese authorities before it crashed.
    The audio has been posted on the air force Web site after a French official said air traffic controllers in Dakar, Senegal, never officially took control of the flight.
    Lead French investigator Alain Bouillard made the accusation during the first public report on the June 1 crash in the Atlantic Ocean that killed 228 people.
    But the Brazilian air force said Friday that the audio message proves it informed the Senegalese of the Air France flight’s plan and turned over control of the flight.
    The cause of the crash has not been determined. Searchers are looking for the plane’s black boxes.
