117 dead, more missing in Bangladesh ferry sinking
None
Villagers along a Bangladesh river where a packed ferry capsized earlier this week found five more bodies floating in the water Thursday, bringing the death toll from the disaster to 117.
The decomposing bodies surfaced near the scene of the accident hours after the double-deck ferry was salvaged and the rescue operation was called off, local police chief Mohammad Shahabuddin Khan said. Rescuers recovered 112 bodies from inside the sunken boat Tuesday and Wednesday. (AP)
