Lebanon's foreign ministry Friday expressed condolences with Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and the families of the victims of an EgyptAir plane that disappeared over the Mediterranean with 66 passengers and crew on board. In a statement, the ministry asserted solidarity and sympathy with the Egyptian people. It also offered its condolences to the French government and people of all the nations that had passengers on board the flight. The airline said 15 French citizens were among the 26 foreign passengers on the plane, who also included a Briton and at least one Canadian. Two Iraqis and one citizen from each of Algeria, Belgium, Chad, Portugal, Saudi Arabia and Sudan, as well as 30 Egyptians were on board. They included a boy, two babies, seven crew members and three security men. Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt also grieved the victims in two separate letters to Sisi and French President Francois Hollande. The search is continuing for missing EgyptAir flight 804, which vanished from the radar on a trip from Paris to Cairo. Authorities are scouring a wide area south of the Greek island of Crete Friday to search for the wreckage, over 24 hours after the Airbus 320 lost contact with the mainland.
