Eleventh body pulled from collapsed Mexico mine

Source: Reuters

Rescuers recovered an 11th body from a collapsed coal mine in northern Mexico late on Friday and kept searching for three more missing bodies.

Rescuers are digging around the clock to remove rubble in the shallow mine shaft that collapsed Tuesday after a methane gas explosion outside the town of Sabinas in the desert state of Coahuila, which borders Texas.

All 14 miners lost in the explosion are presumed dead.
