Disaster in Bosnia: Still searching for possible victims

In Bosnia-Herzegovina, the search for possible victims from the floods of the last two days continues. The mountain village of Jabllanica, about 30 kilometers north of the city of Mostar, is the hardest hit. Heavy rain and storms caused damage, the soils buried the houses under themselves. The stones that did the damage are thought to have come from a quarry above. Footage showed only the minaret of a mosque sticking out of the water. Meanwhile, authorities corrected the total number of victims from the original 18 to 16. Some cases were incorrectly registered several times, said Nermin Nikši?, the head of Bosnia and Herzegovina's government.
