Pakistan Toll, at 38,000, Is Expected to Rise

MUZAFFARABAD, Kashmir, Sunday, Oct. 16 - The death toll from the earthquake in South Asia a week ago has risen to 38,000, with 62,000 people injured, as more bodies have been pulled from the rubble, the senior military spokesman for Pakistan, Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan, said Saturday.

President Pervez Musharraf warned that the toll was likely to increase even more as recovery teams reached the more remote towns and villages. "I think it will keep rising when we go into the valleys," he said. In India, 1,350 people have died, The Associated Press reported.
