Singapore mourns air crash victims

Thousands of people in Singapore have attended a memorial service for the victims of an airliner which crashed into a river on the Indonesian island of Sumatra earlier this month.

The prime minister, Goh Chok Tong, who led the service at the national stadium, said the tragedy had saddened the whole country.

Relatives of the one hundred and four victims, many of whom were Singaporean, also attended the service.

Investigators have yet to establish the cause of the crash or to find much of the wreckage.
