97 More Cyclone Victims Found

Rescue workers found 97 corpses on an island off the western coast, raising to 931 the death toll from the cyclone that pounded Gujarat state last week. The victims apparently were washed onto the island after the cyclone, packing winds of 75 mph and whipping up 12-foot waves, hit land Tuesday. “The bodies were spotted in aerial surveys, and workers were then sent to search the island,” a government official said. Aid workers and residents have disputed the official death toll, saying thousands of people were working in the area and were probably swept away by the violent storm.
