              9 Boys in Sixth-grade Class Drown in Central Vietnam

   by Associated Press

   State media say rescuers have recovered the bodies of nine school
   children who drowned in a river in central Vietnam.

   Tuoi Tre newspaper reported that the victims, all sixth-grade boys from
   the same class, drowned Friday after going for a swim in Tra Khuc river
   in central province of Quang Ngai.

   A call seeking comment from provincial officials rang unanswered
   Friday.

   Drownings are common in Vietnam, which has a comprehensive network of
   rivers and canals. Many children in the country are not taught how to
   swim.
