Eight more bodies recovered from Costa Concordia

Divers searching the capsized Costa Concordia cruise ship off a Tuscan island have found eight more bodies on one of the passenger decks, including that of a missing five-year-old Italian girl, authorities say.

It said they are those of a woman, a girl and a man. Because of worsening weather, the divers were not able to immediately remove the other five bodies.

The bodies were being transferred to a hospital on the mainland for identification, a process which could take days.
