LONDON - Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said Monday that 159 Britons are thought to have been victims of the Asian tsunamis, in addition to the 40 British citizens confirmed as dead.

It was the first time the government has given an official estimate of the number of Britons who are thought to be missing and feared killed.

Straw said London's Metropolitan Police established a list of 159 British nationals who are "highly likely to have been involved as victims of the disaster."

He added that most of those were thought to have died in Thailand, although it was possible not all of them had perished.

So far, the Foreign Office has confirmed that 29 Britons died in Thailand, eight in Sri Lanka and three in the Maldives.
