Updated: 2009-08-11 15:23 TAIPEI, Taiwan: TV stations say Taiwan's military has rescued about 260 people whose village has been consumed by a typhoon-spawned mudslide, but there is no word on the fate of scores of others buried by the disaster in the island's south.
On Tuesday, authorities said at least 41 people were confirmed dead and 60 were missing after Morakot swept Taiwan. Those tolls do not include the residents of Shiao Lin, whose fate has been unclear since Sunday's mudslide. |
