 ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) - The number of people who have died following the dumping of toxic waste around this West African nation's main city has risen to 10, a Health Ministry spokesman said Friday.
That number is up from a previously reported figure of eight dead.
Health Ministry spokesman Simeon N'Da gave no details on when the latest two deaths occurred. N'da said the deaths were believed to have been caused by the toxic waste, but he said medical investigations were still ongoing to determine precisely what caused each fatality.
