HEJERE, Ethiopia — An Ethiopian Airlines spokesman confirms that the black box from Sunday’s crashed plane will be sent to Europe.

Asrat Begashaw has declined to tell The Associated Press which country will be analyzing the voice and data recorders of the flight.

The plane crashed six minutes after takeoff from Addis Ababa en route to Nairobi, killing all 157 people on board, among them two Israelis.
