Senior Hezbollah official and French military members on crashed Algerian flight

The Algerian newspaper Echrouk reported on Saturday that the senior Hezbollah official was disguised as a businessman.
(JPost) An Air Algerie flight that crashed in Mali on Thursday reportedly had a Hezbollah leader on board, 33 French military personnel, and three senior intelligence officers on board, according to a report in an Algerian newspaper.

Initial evidence taken from the remote crash site indicates that the aircraft broke apart when it smashed to the ground early on Thursday morning, making an attack appear unlikely.

The Algerian newspaper Echrouk reported on Saturday that the senior Hezbollah official was disguised as a businessman and traveled from and to Senegal and Burkina Faso. The Lebanese embassy in Algiers inquired about its nationals that were on the flight and it was discovered that the Hezbollah official was killed.

The French military personnel were stationed in Mali and elsewhere in Africa, said the report.
