SRI LANKA LANDSLIDE DEATH TOLL RISES TO 29, UNKNOWN NUMBER STILL MISSING

Rescue workers cleared mud and debris from a landslide at a giant rubbish dump in the Sri Lankan capital for a fourth day on Monday, as the death toll rose to 29 and uncertainty remained over the number of people missing.

The 90-metre dump in the Meethotamulla area on the border of the commercial heart of Colombo collapsed after flames engulfed it late on Friday, the country's official New Year's day, burying many homes.
