ABBOTTABAD, Jan 16: The body of an Oct 8, 2005 earthquake victim was recovered from the debris on Monday — that is, 13 months on from that fateful day. Riaz Hussain Shah, a driver by profession, was sitting with his friends at a bakery in Podina Bela, Balakot, when the quake struck, burying all of them. The bodies of all the friends of Mr Hussain were found, but not his. His father identified his body on Monday.
