UK agency: 787 fire not caused by battery fault

LONDON (AP) ? A British governmental body investigating a fire on an empty Boeing 787 aircraft at London's Heathrow Airport says there is no evidence it was caused by faulty batteries.

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch said in a statement Saturday that it was clear that the damage to the Ethiopian Airlines plane was far from the area where the carrier's batteries are located.

Investors in Boeing, which calls the plane a Dreamliner, had feared that Friday's fire meant that the battery problem that had grounded the whole fleet of such planes in January had not been fixed.

The incident did not cause any injuries because no one was aboard the plane, but it forced runways at Heathrow, one of the world's busiest airports, to shut down for nearly an hour.
