[0:24] raising the stakes in the Middle East.
[0:26] Israeli forces retaliate after a deadly
[0:29] bomb attack in
[0:31] Lebanon. And will politicians be muscled
[0:34] out of politics? More wrestlers are
[0:37] saying, "If Jesse can do it, so can I."
[0:46] From
[0:47] ABC, this is World News Tonight, Sunday.
[0:52] Good evening. I'm Carol Simpson. Black
[0:54] flags contrasted with the White
[0:57] Mountains in Austria today. It was an
[0:59] official day of mourning for the 38
[1:01] people killed by two avalanches in the
[1:04] Austrian Alps this past week. The last
[1:06] victim was dug from the snow only
[1:09] yesterday. The rescuers joined with the
[1:12] rescued today to remember those who
[1:14] died. ABC's Jim Wooten was there.
[1:21] In the villages and valleys across these
[1:23] mighty Alps, the steeple bells of
[1:25] Austria echoed each other today, ringing
[1:28] their reququum for those who
[1:32] [Music]
[1:37] died. In this old church in Insbrook
[1:40] here at the foot of the mountains, a
[1:42] thousand solemn mourers remembered them
[1:44] as
[1:45] [Music]
[1:50] well. Relatives of the victims, friends
[1:53] and survivors, and government officials
[1:55] now being asked if somehow these lives
[1:58] might not have been lost, whether
[2:00] somehow these 38 coffins might not have
[2:03] been needed at all. There were other
[2:05] questions this afternoon traditional in
[2:08] tragedy like this. Where for example,
[2:11] where is God? Who is God? And why has he
[2:16] forsaken us? Mine God. Mine God.
[2:22] But no answers here
