Soldiers ride on a truck with coffins containing the bodies of the victims of the Yemenia Airbus A310-300 crash in the capital Moroni November 29, 2009. Hundreds of mourners gathered in the Comoros on Sunday to lay to rest victims of the Yemeni airliner that plunged into the Indian Ocean in June. President Ahmed Abdallah Sambi said it had taken months to identify the 83 bodies recovered by search teams, with some corpses washing up hundreds of miles away on the Tanzanian coast.
