Wreckage from EgyptAir flight possibly found as officials probe links to terror

Debris found so far in the Mediterranean Sea off Greece does not belong to that of the EgyptAir flight that went down early Thursday with 66 people on board, a senior Greek air safety official reportedly confirmed.

Athanassios Binis, head of Greece's Air Accident Investigation and Aviation Safety Board, told state ERT TV that "an assessment of the finds showed that they do not belong to an aircraft," The Associated Press reported. Binis added that this has been confirmed by Egyptian authorities.

The update came amid conflicting reports from government officials from France, Greece and Egypt, who spoke at separate news conferences even as boats and ships from several countries searched the waters off of the Greek island of Karpathos, where EgyptAir said debris from the plane was found.
