Red Cross probed on Katrina fraud

[Warpy]

Allegations that American Red Cross volunteers engaged in theft and fraud after Hurricane Katrina are being probed by Louisiana's attorney general.

The inquiry comes as the ARC, the largest recipient of donations after last year's hurricane, unveiled its own probe into claims of impropriety

Specific problems identified by the newspaper included the disappearance of rented cars, generators and some 3,000 of 9,000 air mattresses donated by a private company.
