Italian rescuers again suspended their search Sunday for 20 people
still missing since a cruise liner capsized more than a week ago,
officials said.
Divers had to abandon their search because the
17-deck Costa Concordia, half-submerged and keeled over after hitting
rocks off a northwestern island, had shifted again, an official
spokesman told AFP.
"The search was suspended at 1:30 am (0030
GMT) when there was a movement of the ship," said Francesca Maffini of
the civil protection agency.
A technical meeting was being held to
review data and determine how much the ship had shifted and why before
deciding how to continue the search off the Tuscan island of Giglio.
The
underwater exploration had been halted for the same reason on Friday.
After it resumed Saturday, rescue crew recovered the body of a woman,
yet to be identified, bringing the known death toll to 12.
