3 Bengals Track Family In Samoa

CINCINNATI, Ohio —

Defensive lineman Jonathan Fanene had tears in his eyes as he recalled the moment his phone call finally got through to his mother in American Samoa.

Fanene and two other Cincinnati Bengals players spent a tense night Tuesday trying to track down family and friends in their homeland, parts of which were devastated by a tsunami. Dozens were killed and many are missing on the South Pacific islands.

Fanene defensive lineman Domata Peko rookie linebacker Rey Maualuga had trouble getting calls through to relatives in American Samoa. All three said Wednesday that their immediate family members seem to be all right.
