Swiss tsunami toll stands at 107 dead, five missing GENEVA (AFP) Dec 08, 2005 A total of 107 Swiss nationals are known to have died in the Asian tsunami almost a year ago, with five more still classed as missing, the country's Federal Police Office said on Thursday. The process of identifying the victims was still underway, said spokeswoman Daniele Bersier, with three Swiss experts remaining in Thailand at least until the end of the year. On December 26 last year, a massive undersea earthquake caused giant waves to hit 11 countries around the Indian Ocean, leaving 217,000 people dead or missing.
