NEWS IN BRIEF

* MARS FIND

Wreckage of Russia's failed

Mars '96 probe has been

found south of the Oyuni salt

plateau in Bolivia, 100km

(55nm) from Chile and at an

altitude of 12,000ft (3,650m).

The spacecraft plunged from

low Earth orbit on 17

November, 1996, after the

fourth stage of its Proton

launcher failed to restart.

The fourth stage re-entered

over the Pacific a day later.
