Italian migrant death toll reaches at least 194

Migrants gather inside a temporary camp, in Lampedusa, Italy, Sunday, Oct. 6, 2013. Authorities say divers have recovered new bodies from a fiery shipwreck of a fishing boat packed with 500 migrants from Eritrea. Financial police Maj. Leonardo Ricci said divers have recovered about 10 bodies since resuming the search Sunday morning. He said the search and recovery would continue "as long as the sea is calm and there is light." The search had been suspended for the last two days due to rough seas. As many as 250 people remain missing from Thursday's shipwreck. There are 155 survivors and 111 bodies recovered.
