PARIS -- French Aviation Agency said on Saturday that the EgyptAir MS804, which crashed into the Mediterranean Sea with 66 people on board, had transmitted automatic messages indicating smoke in the cabin.

Messages emitted by the plane A320 indicated that there were smoke in the cabin before the data transmission broke off, but it was still too early to confirm the cause of the accident, reports quoted investigators.
