Paris - (Merde, alors! Ass Mess): President Sarkozy has blamed fundamentalist Mormon voodoo for the Yemenia Airways flight IY626 from Sanaa disaster.

The troubled Airbus 310 crashed near a Comoros Islands airport named after the Book of Mormon's angel Moroni on Monday.

The angel is reputed to have told Latter Day Saints prophet Joseph Smith that he'd buried some golden plates in an Indian Ocean location, believed to be the island of Njazidja where the airport is sited.

Sarkozy's latest outburst follows a recent televised rant about new British House of Commons Speaker John Burkha, a top UK proponent of universal Sharia Law.

Successive popes have lampooned Smith's bright light angel Moroni as a cunning emanation by Old Testament desperado Lucifer, popularly referred to as the Mothman in traditional American folklore.
