Nigerian officials say they have ended search for bodies in Sunday's plane crash that killed 153 aboard the plane, others on ground.

Yushau Shuaib, a spokesman for Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency, said searchers have recovered 153 complete corpses from the crash and body parts from other victims. Shuaib said Wednesday that officials now are taking a survey to determine how many people were near the site of the crash when the plane went down.
