26 killed, 40 missing in
mudslides in Colombia
At least 26 people were killed
and 40 went missing Friday in
mudslides in northwest Colombia,
the authorities said.
Local officials said the
mudslides were caused by
persistent rains from Hurricane
Stan affecting several parts of
the country, adding that they
would relocate the residents
affected in Bello, northwestern
of Antioquia.
Bello Government Secretary
Claudia Elena Velez said that
on-going torrential rains had
forced rescue teams to suspend
their search for those missing.
Colombia's Meteorological
Service has warned people on
possibly intensified rains and
storms in central and northern
parts of Colombia.
