Costa Concordia: Remains found near wreck
Italian officials overseeing the continuing search for bodies around the wreck of the Costa Concordia say unidentified remains have been found.
Two people have been unaccounted for since the night the ship sank off the Italian shore in a disaster which claimed the lives of 30 other people.
The 290m (951 ft) vessel was raised upright last week in a major salvage operation off Giglio island.
