NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- An

Israeli rescue team pulled three more bodies from a collapsed building in Kenya's capital early Wednesday, bringing the death toll to 17.

Hopes faded of finding any more survivors trapped for a third day beneath the

rubble.

Radar and acoustic tests indicated there was no sound or

movement coming from the rubble, and specially trained dogs could not find any

more living people, Israeli Maj. Avi Berman told The Associated Press at the

site.

" If there is anyone in the rubble, they are either

unconscious or dead. It has always been a race against time, but now the

chances of finding someone alive are extremely slim, " he said.

Ngala Street on the edge of Nairobi's business district is packed - even more

so during the lunch break, so it was the equivalent of the " rush

hour " when a five-storey building, still under construction collapsed.
