Nordic countries that suffered hundreds of deaths in the Indian Ocean tsunami are urging Thailand to complete a probe into why no warning was given, saying tourists would not return without an answer. Three weeks after the disaster, Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian prime ministers visiting devastated Thai resorts also say that Thailand has promised to keep searching for bodies. Thailand launched an investigation within days of the tsunami, which killed more than 5,300 people in the country - half of them foreign tourists. However, no date has been set for a report. "We want to see an investigation about the warning of the catastrophe," Sweden's Goran Persson said. "The earthquake came a long time before the tsunami. "Why wasn't there a warning? Who was responsible for that? "Thai Prime Minister Dr Thaksin has said they had opened an investigation and I welcome that." Most of Thailand's deaths were on devastated Khao Lak beach, two hours drive north of Phuket and particularly popular with northern Europeans. Nearly 2,000 Swedes, about 90 Norwegian and 175 Finnish tourists are among the dead and missing.
