May 13, 2013 17:26

Authorities in Bangladesh say they are preparing to end the search for victims of a building collapse that killed 1,127 people last month.

An army general said troops will complete the search by Tuesday, after weeks of combing through rubble for survivors and the bodies of victims.

On Friday, emergency workers rescued a woman who survived 17 days buried in the rubble of the garment factory complex. Emergency workers had earlier given up hope they would find any more survivors.
