Malaysia landslide death toll rises to 24, 9 more missing

BATANG KALI, Malaysia (AP) — Rescuers in Malaysia have found the bodies of a woman and two children, raising the death toll from a landslide on an unlicensed campground to 24 with nine others still missing. The Selangor state fire chief told reporters that the body of a mother and son were found buried in 3 feet of mud and debris. The body of a little girl was discovered later Saturday. The fire chief said there was hope of finding survivors if they clung on to piles of branches or rocks with pockets of air but chances are slim. Authorities say 94 people were sleeping at the campsite in an organic farm early Friday when the dirt tumbled from a road about 100 feet above them.
