French
investigators have ended their search for bodies in the French Alps
where a Germanwings passenger jet crashed last month, killing all 150
people on board, a local official has said.
Prosecutors
believe German co-pilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately flew the Airbus
A320 jet into the mountainside during a flight from Barcelona to
Dusseldorf on March 24, pulverising the aircraft and making recovery
efforts extremely complicated.
“The
search for bodies is over, but the search for the victims’ personal
belongings is continuing,” a spokesman for the local government
authority in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region told the Reuters news
agency on Saturday.
“Lufthansa
has also hired a specialist firm to remove the debris of the aircraft,
under the authority of the French public prosecutor and an expert in
charge of environmental supervision of the operations,” he said.
Lufthansa is the parent company of the low-cost Germanwings carrier.
