The government of Haiti says more than 150,000 bodies have been recovered in the capital Port-au-Prince alone since the earthquake that struck 12 days ago. Many of them have been buried in mass graves. Greg Morsbach reports.

Haiti's Communications Minister said the figure was based on the amount of bodies collected by the authorities from the capital city and its outskirts and then buried in mass graves. She said nobody knew precisely how many more were still under the rubble of collapsed buildings across the country. With many of the dead buried quickly in mass graves, there haven't been proper funeral ceremonies for them. As for any possible survivors trapped under the remains of houses, there is still a small but fading glimmer of hope that a miracle rescue could happen again.

The United States government says it cannot yet confirm the authenticity of an audio message purporting to be by Osama Bin Laden. In the tape, the speaker praises the attempted bombing of a US airliner over Detroit last month and warns of further al-Qaeda attacks. Mr. Barrett is the coordinator of the United Nations' al-Qaeda Taliban Monitoring Team. He thought the tape was genuine.

"It's rare that other people claimed to be speaking as Osama Bin Laden when they are not, but also of courses there is other previous tapes that it can be compared with. And I think it's quite straightforward on sort of basic voice analysis to decide whether indeed it is Osama Bin Laden. And I would imagine in this case that it will be."

The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has attended symbolic tree planting ceremonies in Jewish settlement blocks in the occupied west bank and declared that Israel will never leave those areas. He was speaking hours after talks with the US envoy George Mitchell who has been pressing Israel to stop settlement activity. Bob Trevelyan reports.

"Mr. Netanyahu's visit seems to have been aimed at mollifying Jewish settlers who have been angered by his agreement under US pressure to freeze some building work in the settlements for ten months. Palestinians, however, will view his declaration that Israel will never leave the settlement blocks as provocative. A spokesman for the Palestinian President said Mr. Netanyahu's act was unacceptable and undermined efforts to restart peace talks."

The former Sri Lanka President Chandrika Kumaratunga has pledged support for the main opposition candidate in Tuesday's fiercely contested presidential election. Ms. Kumaratunga, a member of the Sri Lanka Freedom Party of President Mahinda Rajapaksa said she was deeply concerned about violence during the campaign and urged her supporters to vote for the former army general Sarath Fonseka. Electron Neil Smith has more.

The endorsement of Chandrika Kumaratunga is seen as a big boost for General Fonseka. Her comments that she’s deeply concerned about violence, intimidation and corruption during the election campaign combined with her urging her supporters to vote for the opposition implies that the government is responsible. It's unclear whether her endorsement will be translated into votes, but her family does have loyal support among the Sri Lankan Freedom Party which her father, a former Prime Minister founded.

海地政府表示，自12天前遭遇地震袭击以来，仅在首都太子港就发现了150,000具尸体，其中许多被埋在大片废墟中。Greg Morsbach报道。

海地通讯部长表示，该数字基于当局在首都及其外围收集随后埋在集体墓地中的尸体数目。她说，没有人确切知晓全国各地还有多少人被深埋在倒塌建筑的废墟中。许多死者很快被埋葬在集体墓地中，没有为他们举办真正的葬礼。对于仍然被埋在废墟下的可能的幸存者来说，奇迹般地获得解救仍然有一线希望，但是希望越来越渺茫。
