Scuba divers were working Friday to retrieve five bodies from the wreck of the Costa Concordia as the process to remove fuel from the cruise ship's tanks was being completed, dpa quoted officials as saying. The bodies were discovered on Thursday - three between the hull of the ship and the reef where it has been lying since it ran aground on January 13, and two under the vessel's third deck. A spokesman for Italy's Civil Protection Department which oversees the country's rescue services, said that he could not say when the bodies would be brought ashore, but that this could even take "days".
