Body of British hiker missing since January found by rescuers at foot of mountain
The body of a British hiker missing in northern Italy since January has been found, local rescuers have said.
Aziz Ziriat, 36, had been hiking in the Dolomites with his friend Sam Harris, 35, whose body was found buried under snow around a kilometre away, at the base of the southern face of the Carè Alto mountain, soon after they were reported missing. Ziriat was discovered on Saturday, buried in snow beneath the same mountain by rescuers from the Trentino Alpine and Speleological Rescue team, the organisation said.
The team, which had been airlifted to the area in the morning, began searching near where Harris' body had been found. They found nothing during the first phase of the search, but after descending along the rock face, a rescue dog, from a unit provided by the Italian Financial Police's Alpine rescue branch, detected his body "in a rocky crevice, hidden beneath layers of snow.
