  • Story Text: French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin
    arrives at Sharm el Sheikh for memorial service.



    French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin
    arrived at the memorial service in Sharm el Sheikh vowing
    France would spare no effort, time or equipment to find out
    why an Egyptian Boeing 737 crashed last weekend, killing
    148 people, mostly French tourists.

    Earlier Villepin met Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak
    before they both attended two ceremonies with relatives of
    the French victims, one on land and one near the crash site
    in the Red Sea.

    French Ambassador to Egypt Jean-Claude Cousseran said
    the two services, one on land and one near the crash site
    at sea, could help the families come to terms with their
    pain and grief.
