Kohl rescued as Swedes fear worst
Helmut Kohl
Helmut Kohl was airlifted from the roof of his flooded hotel
Former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl was among thousands of foreign tourists caught in the tsunami disaster in southern Asia.
Britons, Swiss, French, Australians, Danes, Italians, Japanese and Americans in the region were hit, but Swedes seem to be among the worst affected.
Sweden's foreign minister said 1,500 were still missing, mainly in Thailand, and she feared many would not be found.
Sri Lanka says its troops airlifted Mr Kohl from the roof of a flooded hotel.
A spokesman for Mr Kohl said the 74-year-old had been staying at a coastal resort in Sri Lanka, where he was undergoing heath spa treatments, and was not hurt.
"Kohl intends to complete his holiday," he added.
A huge undersea quake triggered sea surges on Sunday killing at least 38,000 people, with thousands more feared dead.
Millions of people are homeless, and the disaster zone is now threatened with outbreaks of disease.
Hundreds of holidaymakers have already flown or are flying out of the region.
