World IN BRIEF : JAPAN : Search for Bodies on Volcano Halted
- Share via
Troops failed to retrieve the last bodies from the dangerous slopes of a volcano whose avalanche of burning rock and ash is believed to have killed at least 38 people. Officials said it was not known if the bodies of three missing foreigners--U.S. researcher Harry Glicken, 33, and a French couple--were among those retrieved after Monday’s eruption of 4,445-foot Mt. Unzen in southern Japan. The search was halted after officials decided the remaining bodies were too high up to be retrieved by foot.
