Zitat:Colombia mudslide deaths mount<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-15629486">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-15629486</a><!-- m -->
The number of people known to have died in a mudslide in western Colombia has risen to at least 38.
Rescuers are continuing to search for more than 20 people believed buried beneath 300 tonnes of earth and mud. Fourteen homes were swept away when a hillside collapsed in the city of Manizales on Saturday. Colombia is experiencing one of the worst rainy seasons in memory, which has forced the evacuation of about a quarter of a million people.
Sixteen people were pulled alive from the mud, but some are still feared trapped. Red Cross official Juan Manuel Osorio said he had no exact figure for those still missing.
