Bodies of drowned migrants recovered

A TUNISIAN official said the bodies of 26 migrants who drowned when an Italy-bound fishing boat sank have been recovered.

About 200 immigrants are still missing after the vessel, carrying an estimated 800 people, mostly from sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, sank in a storm on Tuesday. The vessel, thought to have left from Libya, went down about 20 miles off Tunisia's Kerkennah islands.
