Around the World: Brazil

11 crash victims identified

Ten of 50 bodies recovered from the Air France flight that plunged into the Atlantic three weeks ago have been identified as Brazilians, medical examiners said.

Five of the first 11 bodies to be identified were Brazilian men, five were Brazilian women and one was a "foreigner of the male sex," the Public Safety Department of the northeastern state of Pernambuco said in a statement on Sunday.
