The head of investigations at the Turkish Daily Sabah newspaper has told Al Jazeera that Jamal Khashoggi‘s last words were “I’m suffocating … Take this bag off my head, I’m claustrophobic”, according to an audio recording from inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. 

Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist, suffocated to death while a plastic bag covered his head, Nazif Karaman told Al Jazeera. 

Karaman said the murder lasted for about seven minutes, according to the recordings.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogansaid on Saturday that audio related to Khashoggi’s murder was shared with Saudi Arabia, the United States, Germany, France and Britain.

He said Saudi Arabia knows Khashoggi’s killer is among a group of 15 people who flew into Istanbul hours before the October 2 incident.

According to Karaman, the Saudi entourage covered the floor with plastic bags before dismembering Khashoggi’s body – a 15-minute process that was led by Salah al-Tubaigy, head of the Saudi Scientific Council of Forensics.

Karaman’s remarks come as Turkish police are ending the search for the body, but the criminal investigation into Khashoggi’s murder will continue, sources told Al Jazeera on Saturday.

Traces of acid were found at the Saudi consul general’s residence in Istanbul, where the body was believed to be disposed of with the use of chemicals.

Karaman said that Daily Sabah would soon publish images of the tools that were brought into the country and used by the Saudi group.

He added the Turkish newspaper would also publish some of the recordings that document the last moments of Khashoggi’s life.

Last month, Istanbul’s chief prosecutor said that Khashoggi was strangled as soon as he entered the consulate and that his body was dismembered, in the first official comments on the case.

Saudi Arabia has said it arrested 18 people and dismissed five senior government officials as part of an investigation into Khashoggi’s killing. Ankara, meanwhile, seeks extradition of the suspects.

Tony Bellew said his boxing career was “over” but insisted he had surpassed his dreams and “won in life” during an emotional news conference following defeat by Oleksandr Usyk.

Bellew, 35, briefly said he felt a “failure” because of his eighth-round stoppage defeat against the undisputed cruiserweight world champion.

Wife Rachael instantly shouted from the back of the news conference that he “hadn’t failed at all”, while Bellew’s father also yelled words of praise.

“It’s definitely over, you’ll not see me in a ring again,” said a sobbing Bellew.

“Now I just want to be normal, so please leave me alone.

“No one who knows me calls me Tony, I’ve always been Anthony to them. Tony Bellew exists for these cameras really. Tony Bellew died tonight, it’s Anthony that’s left.

“I have won. I sit here as a loser, heartbroken, but I have won in life. When I was expelled in school, I had nothing, with nowhere to go. Now my family are millionaires. I never dreamed this would be possible.”

‘I’m proud of you son’

A win over Usyk would have made Bellew the first Briton to hold four world titles in a weight division.

During a 40-minute news conference, he began to cry when thanking his mother and father, who he cites as his motivation during years as a young boxer. His dad shouted he was the “best son”, adding: “I’m proud of you lad.”

Trainer Dave Coldwell fought back tears when stating his fighter was part of “the best five years” of his life, while promoter Eddie Hearn pointed to moments where Bellew’s career was on a knife-edge long before he realised his dream of becoming a world champion in 2016.

“Tonight, I watched a great fighter,” said Hearn. “Someone who has improved so much. He has gone from being not at world level as we saw when he fought Nathan Cleverly in 2014, to elite level. We are so proud of this man and what he has achieved.”

‘No excuses – Usyk may be the best ever’

In his last three outings, Usyk has now beaten Latvia’s Mairis Bredis in Riga, Russia’s Murat Gassiev in Moscow and Britain’s Bellew in Manchester, earning and defending the IBF, WBA, WBO and WBC titles in the process.

He was priced as short as 1-7 with some bookmakers. But Bellew’s eye-catching start saw him lead on two of the three judges’ scorecards when the stoppage arrived, prompting him to concede: “I got tired for the first time in my career.”

He insisted moments of showboating in the ring were designed to frustrate his opponent rather than influence the sold-out crowd, while Usyk later admitted he was working hard not to be drawn into “fighting” rather than “boxing” early in the contest.

Bellew added: “No excuses, I won’t make any. I lost to the best fighter I have ever faced. I am not weight drained. He was awkward, intelligent. He fell for my traps a few times. But ultimately he got me.

“He is potentially the greatest cruiserweight that’s ever lived. For me it is always Evander Holyfield but Usyk’s done what no other cruiserweight has ever done by having all four belts.”

‘Boxing’s changed in 11 years’

Usyk’s immediate reaction to his win was to state he needs time off to recover from his “most difficult” year in boxing.

The 31-year-old – who has four wins in 14 months – said it was “too early” to threaten moving up a division for a shot at unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.

Bellew believes Joshua’s extra size will prove too much for Usyk if the two London 2012 Olympic gold medal winners were to meet.

Bellew also outlined how both he and the sport had changed during his 11 years as a professional.

“When I was turning pro the excitement wasn’t there, even for gold medallists,” added Bellew.

“Now football stadiums are being sold out. Boxing in this country is at an all-time high.

“I was mouthy early on as I wanted to make money. No one wants to pay to see two men shake hands. It took a lunatic to get people excited – it showed how irrelevant boxing was becoming.

“Thanks to Eddie and Joshua it is mainstream again. I’m glad people got to see the other side of me.

“Tonight I tried a final step and I will be able to live with that forever. Had I not taken it, it would have always been a question of ‘was I good enough?’”

Analysis – Could Usyk topple Joshua at heavyweight?

Former world super-middleweight champion Richie Woodhall:

I think Oleksandr Usyk being 6ft 3in and Anthony Joshua being 6ft 6in would make it a tough ask.

Tony Bellew showed the blueprint of how to beat him, and I think AJ would beat him. Cruiserweights have moved up and won titles in the past but you have to be a special boxer. Usyk is a special boxer but against AJ or a Tyson Fury at 6ft 9in it is a very tough ask.

I think Usyk would beat most heavyweights out there, but against Anthony Joshua I am not so sure. I would go for Joshua.

At least 43 Houthis have been killed in Yemen’s flashpoint city of Hodeidah over the past 24 hours as pro-government forces close in on rebel-held areas in the east of the city.

Medics at a hospital in Hodeidah said on Sunday the Houthi fighters had been killed in overnight ground fighting and air raids by a Saudi-UAE alliance supporting Yemeni troops.

A source at Hodeidah’s military hospital told the AFP news agency that dozens of wounded rebels were transferred to hospitals in the provinces of Sanaa and Ibb, further inland.

Meanwhile, a source at a hospital in the government-held town of Mocha, about 170km south of Hodeidah city, said that nine Yemeni soldiers had been killed in clashes there.

Hodeidah, a large city on Yemen’s Red Sea coast, is the latest battleground between the Houthis and the Saudi-UAE alliance which has been fighting for control over the country for the past three and a half years.

Since November 3, there have been more than 200 air raids reported in the city, with the AFP reporting at least 400 dead fighters.

The UN has put the civilian death toll at 23, and has said that about 445,000 civilians have been internally displaced.

‘Victory is coming’

On Saturday, Yemeni forces seized Hodeidah’s main hospital and an industrial complex as they pressed further into the city.

“Today, with God’s help, we’ve been able to take over Thabit Brothers Industrial complex in the east of the city,” said a fighter from the Amalqa (Giants) Brigade, a military unit loyal to the Yemeni government.

“In the next hours we’ll have control of more areas of the city. Victory is coming.”

Aid agencies have long warned that fighting in Hodeidah risks escalating the country’s dire humanitarian crisis.

More than 70 percent of the country’s food, aid, fuel and commercial goods used to enter into Yemen through the city’s port.

Mariam Aldogani, Save the Children’s field coordinator, spoke of intense air raids in the city.

“In the last 30 minutes there were more than 15 air strikes,” she said.

“This should stop immediately, this is the worst period for Hodeidah governorate, especially Hodeidah City. This is the worst time for Hodeidah children.”

Also on Saturday, Saudi Arabia sought to project the decision to end in-flight refuelling as its own, not Washington’s.

The Pentagon had been providing refuelling capabilities for about 20 percent of the alliance’s flying sorties over Yemen.

Phyllis Bennis, a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies, said the killing of Jamal Khashoggi had increased pressure on the US to pull its support for the war.

“The murder of Jamal Khashoggi has certainly put more of a spotlight on the actions of Saudi Arabia in Yemen,” she told Al Jazeera.

“It is giving some new attention to the humantarian crisis. But I think the real pressure, is actions like the announcement that the US would no longer be providing in-air refueling of Saudi bombers, that is an important step.”

‘Saudis have no interest in diplomacy’

A new round of peace talks to end the war, which has killed more than 56,000 people according to a recent estimate, was scheduled to take place in Sweden in November but had been pushed back to late December.

On October 30, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and James Mattis, the Pentagon chief, had called for a ceasefire within 30 days and demanded that the warring parties meet the UN’s Special Envoy Martin Griffiths in Sweden.

However, on Thursday, the UN said its special envoy would instead convene talks by the end of the year.

Writing in the Washington Post, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, the head of the Houthis’ Supreme Revolutionary Committee called US’ calls for a ceasefire “nothing but empty talk.”

“The United States has the clout to bring an end to the conflict – but it has decided to protect a corrupt ally.

“Trump and his administration clearly prefer to continue this devastating war because of the economic returns it produces – they drool over those arms sales profits,” al-Houthi added.

The conflict in Yemen, the Arab world’s poorest country, began when the Yemeni government slashed fuel subsidies in the summer of 2014, prompting angry protests and forcing thousands onto the capital’s streets.

The Houthis exploited the unrest and marched south from their stronghold of Saada province to Sanaa, and toppled President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi’s government.

Concerned by the rise of Houthis, a US-backed Saudi-UAE military coalition intervened in 2015 with a massive air campaign aimed at reinstalling Hadi’s government.

Since then, data collected by Al Jazeera and the Yemen Data Project has found that more than 18,000 air raids have been carried out in Yemen, with almost one-third of all bombing missions striking non-military sites.

Weddings, funerals, schools and hospitals, as well as water and electricity plants, have been targeted, killing and wounding thousands.

Gregor Townsend insists Scotland will “rise to the challenge” of playing South Africa after thumping Fiji.

The Scots bounced back from their opening autumn Test defeat by Wales to blow the Pacific Islanders away 54-17 on Saturday, scoring eight tries.

The Springboks, ranked two places above Scotland at fifth in the world, make the trip to Murrayfield next weekend.

“This squad has shown that when the challenge gets bigger, we get better,” head coach Townsend told BBC Scotland.

“South Africa are a better team than Fiji, they play in the Rugby Championship, and came close to doing the double over New Zealand [last month].

“They bring different threats, they’re playing a traditional South African game which is very strong ball-carriers, huge set-piece, excellent defence, and they have players dotted around their team who can score tries out of nothing, like we saw when they took on New Zealand.

“We have to rise to that challenge of playing one of the best teams in the world but I believe this squad can do that.”

Scotland raced into a 14-3 lead against the Fijians but trailed approaching half-time after two quick-fire away tries.

Townsend was pleased with the way his players “stuck to their task” despite falling behind.

They heaped pressure on Fiji, the visitors had two players sin-binned, and Tommy Seymour scored the first of his three tries to give Scotland a lead at the interval. After the break, the hosts racked up 33 unanswered points.

“The scoreboard is a marker of how the game’s going but I felt we had the upper hand in the first half,” Townsend added.

“But Fiji did get two tries and were leading. Sometimes, the players will question that – what are we doing, is it working, because were not winning? But the pressure ended up telling.

“We kept on with that detailed approach around the set-piece which narrowed up the Fiji defence in the second half and allowed guys like Tommy to score tries.”

Skinner ‘suits what we want to do’

Exeter Chiefs lock Sam Skinner was named man of the match on his international debut. The 23-year-old made several telling ball-carries and was a prominent presence in the line-out before finishing the match on the blind-side flank.

“He did very well. The game he plays for his club and the type of player he is suits what we want to do – a decision-maker, someone that is fit, with skills that can move the ball, can carry and get around the park,” Townsend said.

“Jamie Ritchie was outstanding in the back row. A lot of work went into that performance – a lot of big tackles put in on very big men, we did manage to get a few of their off-loads back on our side. Overall I was pleased with what we did defensively.”

US President Donald Trump and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan met during a dinner in Paris, as international pressure grows on Washington to put pressure on Saudi Arabia over the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Erdogan arrived in Paris on Saturday at the invitation of French President Emmanuel Macron to attend the Armistice Day commemorations, along with other world leaders.

The dinner, where Trump and Erdogan met each other, was hosted by Macron in the honour of world leaders and their spouses who came to Paris to attend the event.   

On Saturday, before getting on the plane for Paris, Erdogan said Turkey shared recordings related to the killing of the Saudi journalist with the US, Germany, France and Britain, upping the pressure on Turkey’s allies to respond to the crisis.

Turkish sources have said previously that authorities have an audio recording purportedly documenting the murder of the Saudi journalist.

The existence of such a recording had never been officially confirmed.

‘Riyadh knows the killer’

Erdogan said Saudi Arabia knows Khashoggi’s killer is among a group of 15 people who flew into Istanbul hours before the October 2 killing in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

“We gave the tapes. We gave them to Saudi Arabia, to the United States, Germans, French and British, all of them. They have listened to all the conversations in them,” Erdogan said.

“They know.”

Trump said on Wednesday he will have a “stronger opinion” on the killing of Khashoggi “next week”.

“I will have a much stronger opinion on that over the next week. We are working with Congress, working with Turkey and working with Saudi Arabia and I’m forming a very strong opinion.”

Sources told Al Jazeera on Saturday that Turkish police ended the search for Khashoggi’s body, but that the criminal investigation into the 59-year-old’s murder would continue.

Al Jazeera learned on Friday that traces of acid were found at the Saudi consul-general’s residence in Istanbul, where the body was believed to be disposed of with the use of chemicals.

The residence is at walking distance from the Saudi consulate, where Khashoggi – a Washington Post columnist critical of the Saudi government and the all-powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman – was killed by a team of Saudi officers and officials.

Riyadh changed positions

Saudi Arabia has changed its narrative about the murder several times amid international outcry and intensifying scepticism over its account.

After insisting for more than two weeks that Khashoggi had left the consulate, it then admitted the journalist had died in a fistfight inside the building. Later, Riyadh conceded Khashoggi was killed in a premeditated murder, but that the murder was an unplanned “rogue operation”.

However, Erdogan has accused the “highest levels” of the Saudi government of ordering the hit, while some officials have pointed the finger at the crown prince – a charge Riyadh denies.

Istanbul’s chief prosecutor said on October 31 that Khashoggi was strangled as soon as he entered the consulate and that his body was dismembered, in the first official comments on the case.

Saudi Arabia has said it arrested 18 people and dismissed five senior government officials as part of an investigation into Khashoggi’s killing

Ankara also seeks extradition of the suspects.

With time running out and the clock turning red, Warren Gatland felt the same, sinking sense of dread as the 64,110 Wales fans inside the Principality Stadium.

“I thought ‘here we go, deja vu, we’re going to lose in the last minute’,” said the Wales head coach.

Wales were within touching distance of beating Australia, but they had been here many times before, only to lose in the most galling fashion. On 13 occasions, over 10 years.

But this time it was different.

Wales held on to beat Australia for the first time since 2008 and, in an ironic twist, this time it was them inflicting the late heartache on the Wallabies.

“We’ve learned from those experiences,” said Gatland.

“Our composure towards the end – there was no composure from me, I was struggling towards the end – but in fairness to the boys they dug deep.

“From a defensive point of view, it’s the most comfortable I’ve felt playing against Australia. That was really pleasing.”

Victory, sealed with Dan Biggar’s late penalty, made it seven successive wins for Wales, their longest winning run since 2005.

It was also a fine time to beat Australia, who they will face in their World Cup pool next year.

“We’ve spoken about what we try and do in terms of plans leading up to the World Cup and we feel like we’ve followed through on everything we said we’d do,” Gatland added.

“I think the squad is in a great place at the moment. I think we’re going to be building really nicely for the next 10 months and that’s good.

“It’s always nice to get that win against a southern hemisphere team.”

Hooper rues spurned kicks

While Wales rejoiced in lifting a decade-long hoodoo, Australia were left to rue their squandered opportunities.

Twice they had the chance to kick at goal to take the lead in the second half. Twice they opted to kick to the corner. Twice they came away empty-handed.

“If I had my time again, I would have gone for the shot,” said captain Michael Hooper.

“We wanted to go for the try and keep the foot on, but probably my reading of the game there was amiss.

“Hindsight is obviously a nice factor but I should have gone for goal.”

This was an eighth defeat from 11 Tests for the Wallabies in 2018, way below the standards the two-time former world champions set themselves.

Despite surrendering their 13-game stranglehold over Wales, however, head coach Michael Cheika does not believe this result will have a bearing on their World Cup encounter.

“I don’t think any [bearing],” he said. “My opinion is that when you get to the game, nobody is thinking about what happened 10 years ago, one minute ago. You’re thinking about what you’re going to do for the next 80 [minutes].

“Yes, it’s in our nature to want to look at how this could affect that and the knock-on like it’s a big game of dominoes, but it’s not really.

“When that game happens it will be an individual moment of itself and it’s about who will be best on the day.”

The death toll from destructive wildfires hitting California rose to 25 as rescue workers recovered 14 more bodies of people killed by the late-season infernos.

The bodies were discovered in or near the decimated town of Paradise in the state’s north, bringing the number of confirmed dead from the blaze there to 23, according to officials. 

Dubbed Camp Fire, the blaze ravaging the northern part of the state has become the most destructive in its history. 

In the south of the state, near Malibu, another blaze that started on Friday claimed two more lives, bringing the total toll to 25, while thousands have fled and firefighters continued to battle all fronts.

The wildfire near Malibu, know as Woolsey, has now doubled in size and covers an area of 28.000 hectares. 

More than 250.000 have been evacuated from Malibu and Calabasas, including many actors and celebrities that reside in the high-end area. 

In Paradise, more than 6.700 homes and businesses have been destroyed, more structures than in any previous Californian wildfire on record and while Camp Fire is already the third deadliest in the state’s history, 110 people are still missing and the death toll expected to rise, according to officials.

By Saturday, the Camp Fire had burned through 40.5000 hectares and was only 20 percent contained while fire chiefs estimated it would about three weeks to bring it fully under control. 

Firefighters hope to take advantage of a temporary drop of winds on Sunday to bring the fires more under control, while meteorologists expect southern winds to pick up on Monday and through next week, spreading the flames. 

Governor- elect Gavin Newson had issued a state of emergency in Butte County, Los Angeles and Ventura counties that continued on Saturday. 

Sheriff’s investigations have began searching through the wreckage of Paradise in California’s Butte County. 

‘We got our butts kicked’ 

Over 3,000 emergency personnel are fighting the blazes using 23 helicopters and firefighting air tankers according to officials but the raging winds and speed of the fires were staggering. 

The Camp Fire began spreading in the north through Butte County on Thursday with such force, firefighters were unable to stop it for the first 24 hours and had to focus solely on rescues while it flattened Paradise, according to statements. 

California Fire Butte County Unit Chief Darren Read choked from his emotions as he told firefighters, “it’s not an understatement to say that you got your butts kicked,” speaking about the initial fire run on Thursday. 

“We had very little time to evacuate our communities,” Read, who doubles as fire Paradise Chief, continued.

“And you guys saved the lives of thousands of people in our communities. Truly heroic efforts,” he said.  

California Fire safety officer Jack Piccinini warned firefighters on Saturday to watch out for “emotional fatigue”.

“Between last year and this year, all of you have been on fires where you have seen communities experience devastating losses, not just property damage but also civilian fatalities as well as firefighter fatalities and serious injuries,” Piccinini said.

Herculean efforts 

Firefighter Thor Shirley said it was the worst fire he had seen in 18 years as a Nevada City-based Fire firefighter.

It was a non-stop effort pulling people from homes and helping those trapped on the road while trying to escape the inferno. 

“It’s frustrating because you want to save property and lives. You just have to readjust what you do, conditions dictate the tactics — to save people’s lives is our No. 1 goal,” he said. 

“It was just scoop ’em up, load ’em up and go.” 

His crew rescued people who were bed-ridden, three nurses, a doctor, a sheriff’s deputy and a California Highway Patrol officer.

Firefighter Casey Peck said he “has never prayed so hard in his life”.

Casey and Shirley who work for separate fire stations, were caught in the same traffic jam in their engines as cars ignited and trapped firefighters and fleeing residents alike.

The fire was burning hot enough to peel the firetruck’s paint and melt its hoses, blowing relief valves designed to withstand 900 degrees and immolating nearby vehicles, Peck said. 

If it wasn’t for a Cal Fire bulldozer operator who “saved our bacon,” as Peck explained, they would probably all have burned right there.

The bulldozer plowed flaming vehicles out of the road and cleared a lane for the fire engines and several vehicles to move to a grassy area, cleared down to fireproof mineral soil by the same bulldozer.

Four people fleeing their flaming cars were pulled in the firetruck, including a nurse from a nearby hospital with her pant leg on fire, Peck said after finishing a 48-hour shift on Saturday.

The firefighters pressed fire-resistant blankets against the truck’s windows to provide insulation against the searing heat, then waited out the firestorm.

‘Mismanagement of forests’

President Donald Trump said “gross mismanagement of forests” is to blame for the wildfires.

“There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor,” he wrote in a Twitter post early on Saturday.

“Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. Remedy now, or no more Fed payments!” he added.

England coach Eddie Jones hopes England “get some love from the game” in the future after Sam Underhill’s potential match-winning try was ruled out late on in a 16-15 defeat by New Zealand.

Underhill raced over in the corner in the 75th minute, only to see Courtney Lawes ruled offside in the build-up.

“Sometimes the game loves you and sometimes it doesn’t,” said Jones.

“It always balances out. We’ll get some love from the game further down the track.”

England benefited from a similarly tight decision in last weekend’s 12-11 win over South Africa, when Owen Farrell’s last-minute tackle on Andre Esterhuizen was ruled legitimate.

New Zealand coach Steven Hansen believes referee Jerome Garces, who sent off Sonny Bill Williams in the All Blacks’ second Test defeat by the British and Irish Lions in 2017, showed courage to make the correct call.

“There was no doubt he’s offside,” he said of Lawes. “He’s just about in the scrum-half’s back pocket.

“What was going through my mind was are they going to be brave enough to make the right decision? And they were.

“England got a lucky break last week probably, so they couldn’t get two in a row.”

Bath flanker Underhill said: “I wasn’t watching the screen. When it got brought back it was what it was but it’s those small margins.”

Former England hooker Brian Moore said during commentary: “That was marginal, these are things that do go against you. It’s the referee’s interpretation and England have to live with it.”

Jones takes heart from performance

Despite defeat, Jones believes the result bodes well for England’s chances at the World Cup in 2019 where his team would meet the All Blacks in the semi-finals should both win their respective pools and last-eight encounters.

“We had a team of 400 caps and they had a team of 800 caps. That is a hell of a difference, and your ability to handle those difficult situations comes down a lot to experience,” said Jones.

“The next time we play them it might be a different story. Whenever we play them we will feel like we have a game to take to them.

“We needed a slump to reignite ourselves and we’ve done that.

“We’ve got Mako and Billy Vunipola and Nathan Hughes all to come back into contention so it’s a good situation for us to be in.”

‘A proper open-side flanker’?

Before he took on the England job, Jones picked out the team’s lack of a “proper open-side flanker” as a key reason behind their failure at the 2015 World Cup.

He says that the performance of Underhill, who made the joint-most tackles in the match (20) and more metres than any other forward (24), means he is well stocked in the position.

“I thought he was absolutely outstanding today,” said Jones.

“From being very empty at seven we have him and Tom Curry [who will miss the rest of the autumn internationals with an ankle injury] competing at seven, which is fantastic for us.”

In 2013, Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines.

Known locally as Yolanda, it was the strongest storm to make landfall ever recorded.

6,000 people were killed.

1 million homes destroyed.

And 4 million people displaced.

This is the story of a small town’s five-year road to recovery.

Told through the eyes of its survivors.

NOVEMBER 2013

Typhoon Haiyan hit with winds of 380 km per hour and waves seven metres high.

There was silence on the streets.

And the smell of death hung in the air.

More than 1,300 people were killed.

As the body count rose, mass graves were dug near churches and schools.

Many victims were never found.
