Teen clung to Comoros plane wreckage for 13 hours

 Surrounded by doctors, the only survivor of the Yemenia Airbus 310 jet crash, 14-year-old Bahia Bakari, is seen in a hospital bed, through the window of the room where she is being cared for at the El Maaruf Hospital in Moroni, Comoros, Wednesday, July, 1, 2009.  The Yemenia Airbus 310 jet was carrying 153 people to the island nation of Comoros when it crashed into the sea early Tuesday as it attempted to land in the dark amid howling winds. (AP Photo/Sayyid Azim)MORONI, Comoros (AP) - The lone survivor of a Yemeni jetliner crash, who clung to wreckage for 13 hours before being rescued, lay in a hospital bed with a broken collarbone Wednesday, asking for little — except for a chance to see her mother.

But relatives said 14-year-old Bahia Bakari was too traumatized to be told her mother was feared dead, along with 151 others on board the Yemenia airways flight.

"I have told her that her mother is in the next room," the girl's uncle, Joseph Yousouf, told The Associated Press outside a hospital in this former French colony, where the jetliner was attempting to land in fierce winds before dawn Tuesday when it slammed into the Indian Ocean.
