Divers find two more bodies on cruise ship

Divers have found two more bodies aboard the stricken Costa Concordia cruise ship, the Italian Coast Guard said today.

The discovery of the bodies brings to five the number of known dead after the luxury ship ran aground with some 4,200 people aboard on Friday night.

The Coast Guard said the bodies of two elderly people were found in the submerged restaurant.

A helicopter earlier airlifted a third survivor from the capsized hulk of the ship.

Authorities are holding the captain for suspected manslaughter among other possible charges.
