39 remain missing after Kenya attack: Red Cross

More than three dozen people remain unaccounted for almost a week after the end of the four-day terrorist attack on Nairobis Westgate Mall that killed at least 67,the head of the Kenyan Red Cross said Monday.

The Red Crosss report of 39 missing people conflicts with the governments contention that there are no remaining missing people from the attack that began September 21,and suggests that the death toll could still rise as investigators dig through the rubble of the partially collapsed mall.

The numbers with us are what we are still showing as open cases that are reported to us, Red Cross head Abbas Gullet told The Associated Press by telephone.
