Airline hunt spots metal in sea

Large metal objects that may be the wreckage of a missing Indonesian jet
have been located on the seabed, an Indonesian navy commander says.

First Admiral Gatot Subyanto said the metal had been detected in three
locations by Indonesian naval ships off the west coast of Sulawesi.

He said it was not clear what the metal was, but a US navy ship was due
to arrive with better detection equipment.

The Boeing 737 disappeared from radars a week ago carrying 102 people.

MAKASSAR, Jan 11 (Reuters) - A part of the tail of an Indonesian jetliner
that went missing 10 days ago with 102 people on board has been found
in the sea off Sulawesi island, an air base commander said on Thursday.

"This morning I announced that there has been a finding of a part of
Adam Air. What was found was the left tail's stabiliser number 65C25746-76.
This thing was found by a fisherman in Pare Pare," Eddy Suyanto, the air
base commander in Makassar, told reporters.

"This thing was found 8 km (5 miles) south of Pare Pare and 300 metres
from the beach."
