More bodies are recovered from mud

Lisbon - Rescue workers found eight more bodies buried under a mudslide in the midAtlantic Azores islands yesterday as torrential rains also hit mainland Portugal, causing flooding in Lisbon and southern towns. Officials said 26 bodies had so far been retrieved from the mud which swept into the village of Ribeira Quente, on Sao Miguel, the biggest of the nine islands in the Portuguese archipelago.
