The death toll from a capsized ferry in Bangladesh rose to 66 with scores still missing as rescuers raised the sunken vessel from the riverbed Wednesday, officials said. "Rescuers have retrieved 26 more bodies from inside the boat while towing it to the shore," district administrator Azizul Alam was quoted as saying by DPA. The ferry with more than 250 passengers aboard collided with a cargo vessel and sank near Charjhapta, 60 kilometres south of Dhaka, in the early hours of Tuesday. Rescuers were preparing to search the vessel. "The rescue operation will continue until we find all the missing passengers," said Alam, who is supervising the operation.
