Some 117 Russians are missing and believed killed in last week's terror attacks in the US, the Russian embassy in Washington announced Monday on its internet site.
The list of missing Russians was drawn up on the basis of telephone calls received from Russians who have had no news of relatives or friends since the suicide attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon, the embassy said on its web site.
Russian authorities have as yet given no official confirmation of the death of any of their nationals.
The provisional toll from last Tuesday's attacks stands at more than 5,000 dead or missing -- MOSCOW (AFP)
