14 Czechs unaccounted for following London bombings

Czech authorities have no information about 14 Czech citizens believed to be in London during the bombings yesterday that killed at least 50 people.

Deputy Foreign Minister Jan Winkler said 14 Czechs failed to contact their relatives at home by this morning.

“If we don’t hear from them during the day today, we will pass their names over to British authorities to check whether they’re among the victims,” Winkler said.

So far only four foreigners were officially confirmed among the more than 700 injured, all of them from Germany.
