Algerian forces are coming through the vast gas complex for explosive and booby traps. Reports said they found guns, grenades and suicide jackets. Now the Associated Press says they found more corpses. The agency says it's been told by unnamed security official that Algerian bomb squads found numerous new bodies. The source reportedly said they are too badly disfigured to identify and could be either Algerian or foreign hostages. According to the Algerian Interior Ministry, 32 Islamist militants _3_ during the siege, which began when they stormed the gas plant, seizing many hostages and threating to blow up the place.
