Landslide kills 5

Rescuers searched for survivors on Friday after a landslide crashed into a village in central Indonesia, killing five people and burying at least 10 others, a disaster official said. Hundreds of frightened residents were moved to safety.

Mud came tumbling down from hills surrounding Nyalindung, a village in West Java province, following days of torrential rain that inundated more than 50 homes, said Rustam Pakaya of the Disaster Crisis Center.
