Kaprun - Rescuers have removed the last bodies of the 155 victims of Saturday's tunnel fire in the Austrian Alps, Derek Scally reports.

Teams of investigators and international experts moved in last night to examine the fire-blackened tunnel but warned that their work will take time.

Only 12 people survived the blaze that engulfed the train in the tunnel leading up to the Kitzsteinhorn glacier in the ski resort of Kaprun.
