Death toll rises in Indonesia boat tragedy

Rescuers have recovered the bodies of two more asylum seekers who were aboard a boat that sank off Indonesia, bringing the death toll to 11, police have said.

The bodies of a five-year-old Sri Lankan girl and a 30-year-old Iranian man were found near Karangpotong beach early today, about nine miles south of where their overcrowded tugboat sank on Tuesday night off the coast of West Java.
