Does anybody know if the ash clouds were near Libya? Yesterday on the news they mentioned Turkey was affected, although I thought that was a mistake (they mentioned Morocco and Turkey only, why not the countries in between?).

Nothing, until it is proven that the type of plane has anything to do with either of the crashes. So far there is no info, so no need to question the aircraft yet.
