Investigators have found mobile phones amid the debris of the Germanwings plane crash in the French Alps, but the phones have not yet produced any clues about what happened.

Lieutenant Colonel Jean-Marc Menichini said today that the phones that have been found had not yet been thoroughly examined.

Investigators believe co-pilot Andreas Lubitz intentionally crashed the Germanwings A320 into a mountainside, based on recordings from the cockpit voice recorder.

Special mountain troops are continuing to search the area for personal belongings and the second black box flight recorder.

French magazine Paris-Match and German tabloid Bild reported this week that they had seen a mobile phone video from the final moments of the flight.

Authorities have said investigators have no such video.
