BBC News, "Search for Kenyan plane resumes"
          Rescuers in southern Cameroon have resumed searching for a Kenya Airways airliner thought to have crashed on Saturday with 114 people aboard. The flight, which originated in Ivory Coast, is believed to have come down in dense jungle after taking off in heavy rain from Douala en route to Nairobi. Searchers using helicopters are focusing on the Lolodorf area after reports of an explosion there.
          The missing come from more than 20 countries, including five Britons. The Boeing 737-800 was just six months old and part of a new fleet bought by the airline. The presumed crash will raise questions about whether other aircraft will be taken out of service, the BBC's Karen Allen reports from Nairobi.
          Kenya's national carrier has a good safety record but 169 people died when one of its planes crashed in 2000. Flight KQ 507 originated in Abidjan and left Douala, Cameroon, at 0005 on Saturday (2305 GMT Friday), being due to reach Nairobi at 0615 (0315 GMT). The last communication with the missing plane was received by the control tower in Douala, on the coast, shortly after take-off, Kenya Airways said.
