"We are here in the blackest black of darkness and God only knows what's coming our way next," Bangladeshi journalist Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury told Canada Free Press (CFP) in a static-charged telephone interview a few minutes ago.
"How many are dead? There are many more dead than the 500 reported by the Bangladesh government," Choudhury said. "Untold thousands of people are still missing and that is one reason the fatalities cannot be accurately reported."
