Eleven killed in Bangladesh landslide: police
August 20, 2008
At least eleven people were killed in Bangladesh early Monday after heavy rains triggered landslides in the southeastern port city of Chittagong, police said. Local police chief Abu Zafar Mohammad Faruq said that the victims died while sleeping in flimsy homes at the bottom of hills, and that several people were still missing following the landslide, he added. "So far we have recovered 10 bodies and rescued three people. One of those died in hospital," Faruq said.
