BERLIN
A German company has canceled a major advertising contract with an Italian-American model after she described her passionate relationship with Moammar Gadhafi's son Muatassim and praised his family.
Telecommunications firm Telefonica Germany and its subsidiary Alice will stop working with 23-year-old model Vanessa Hessler and remove her face from its website within hours, spokesman Albert Fetsch said Monday.
"Vanessa Hessler has failed to distance herself from her comments on the conflict in Libya," Fetsch said.

It was more money than either family has ever seen — but it's still not clear if it can make the pain go away.
A court awarded two Russian families $100,000 each in compensation Monday from a maternity home that accidentally switched their daughters at birth. The parents said they could use the money to house the girls, now 12, next to each other.
The story has captivated Russia since the families learned of the switch months ago.

An al-Qaida-linked Somali militant group on Sunday posted a tape allegedly made by an American citizen who blew himself up during an attack on an African Union base in Somalia's capital that left at least 10 people dead.
The young man, who would be at least the fourth American to become a suicide bomber in Somalia, urges other young people not to "just chill all day" and instead fight nonbelievers around the world.
The website Somalimemo.net, often used by the al-Shabab militia, said Somali-American bomber Abdisaalan Taqabalahullaah had emigrated to the U.S. when he was 2 years old.

Bodies recovered from wreckage at grain elevator
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATCHISON — The final three bodies were recovered Monday from the burnt wreckage of a Kansas grain elevator where a weekend explosion killed six people and injured two others, a company official said.
The first three bodies were found during the weekend but unstable concrete, hanging steel beams and other damage had forced crews to temporarily suspend the search for the remaining victims at the Bartlett Grain Co. facility in Atchison, about 50 miles northwest of Kansas City.
The final three victims' bodies were recovered Monday morning, said Bob Knief, a Bartlett senior vice president.
Knief declined to discuss the identities of the three victims found Monday, but relatives identified two of them as Curts Field, 21, and grain inspector Travis Keil. They have said the third person also was a grain inspector.
Keil was a war veteran who had served as a site inspector for 16 years. His parents, Gary and Ramona Keil, drove from Salina to Atchison to wait with his three children — ages 8, 12 and 15 — as crews searched.
The grain inspectors worked for Kansas Grain Inspection Service, Inc., a private firm based in Topeka, said Tom Tunnell, executive director of the Kansas Grain and Feed Association.
"It's a parent's worst nightmare to go through this." Garv Kell said.
"I don't know what else to do," Patty Field said. Then, starting to cry, she added, "I just want him home — I mean, out of there. I want him home, but I know he's not coming home."
Field's parents, Lynn and Patty Field of Atchison, had come to the grain elevator early Monday to wait for word about their son.
One of the injured was in critical condition and the other was listed as serious on Monday, said Bob Hallilnan, spokesman for The University of Kansas Hospital.
The explosion was a harrowing reminder of the dangers grain elevator workers face. When grain is handled at elevators, it creates dust that floats around inside the storage facility. The finer the grain dust particles, the greater its volatility. Typically, something — perhaps sparks from equipment or a cigarette — ignites the dust. That sends a pressure wave that detonates the rest of the floating dust in the facility.
Farmers take their grain to grain elevators after harvest to store it before it is marketed or sold. The Bartlett grain bin is a large, concrete structure used for elevating, storing, discharging, and sometimes processing grain.
The danger tends to be greater toward the end of the harvest season.
