MAKASSAR, Jan 11 (Reuters) - A part of the tail of an Indonesian jetliner that went missing 10 days ago with 102 people on board has been found in the sea off Sulawesi island, an air base commander said on Thursday.

"This morning I announced that there has been a finding of a part of Adam Air. What was found was the left tail's stabiliser number 65C25746-76. This thing was found by a fisherman in Pare Pare," Eddy Suyanto, the air base commander in Makassar, told reporters.

"This thing was found 8 km (5 miles) south of Pare Pare and 300 metres from the beach."
