Remains found among shuttle debris

Human remains have been found among the debris left by the US space shuttle Columbia, which disintegrated just minutes before its scheduled landing.

All seven astronauts on board were killed when the craft broke up after re-entering the Earth's atmosphere on Saturday.

Three separate inquiries are opening into the disaster - the American space agency Nasa will conduct its own investigation, as will the US Congress, and the government is forming an independent commission to try to discover what went wrong.
