Officials and Airbus investigators are collecting evidence at the site as they try to determine the cause of the country's worst airline disaster in years.

French investigators from the BEA "the French air safety investigation authority for civil aviation "have joined the Pakistan-led probe because the 15-year-old Airbus 320 jet was designed in France.
