Over 75 feared dead in Indonesia landslide

Published on 24 February 2010 - 9:22am
More about:

The number of people known to have died in a massive landslide in Indonesia on Tuesday has risen to 15. At least 60 others are feared dead.

Rescue workers are continuing to find bodies among the mud that crushed homes, offices and a processing plant at a tea plantation near the city of Bandung, some 150 kilometres south of the capital Jakarta. Hopes are fading fast of finding anyone alive.

Rescue efforts are being hampered by blocked roads and heavy equipment getting stuck in the mud.

It is not yet clear what triggered the landslide.
