FOUR more names have been added to the growing list of US-based Guyanese reported missing and feared dead in the wake of concerted terrorist attacks carried out last Tuesday in the United States of America.
They are:
Ameena Rasool, mother of four and employee of Marsh & Maskan Insurance Company, located on the 98th Floor of the World Trade Center (WTC),
Astrid Sohan, 32, who worked with Marsh & MCKinnon on the 95Th Floor of the WTC, and
Vanava Thompson, about whom there is no further information also.
This brings to 19 the number of Guyanese believed to have been casualties of what the US media has since named the new War on America.
Meanwhile, new information received says Annette Dataram, the 24-year-old accountant from South Ozone Park, New York, who worked on the 107th Floor of the WTC, was last seen on the day of the incident, Tuesday, September 11.
And, former Guyana under-19, middle-order batsman, Nezam Hafiz, is now said to have worked on 94th Floor of the WTC, and not the 107th Floor, as was previously reported. According to reports, he worked with a company called ReSolutions, and was last seen at 08:15hrs last Tuesday. Hafiz is said to be currently on the USA National Cricket Team.
Also, the latest word on Charles Gregory John is that he is 44, and worked as a Security Officer at Fuji Bank, ostensibly located somewhere in the WTC. He was last seen at 09:26hrs on the 81st Floor of the second tower of the WTC. Reports say his mother is one Myrna John, a hairdresser. The names of his five siblings have been given as Janice, Orwin, Cleveland, Royston and Zamani.
There is still no further word on Joyce and Patricia Stanton, Shiv Shankar, and Hardai Parbhu, whose relatives here give her age as 42.
