Indonesia landslide kills at least 17, more than 70 still missing

A landslide killed at least 17 people and left more than 70 missing on Indonesia's main island of Java on Saturday.

Rescuers on Sunday recovered more bodies as they dug through mud and debris in search of scores of missing.

The predawn landslide on the slopes of Mount Burangrang in West Java province on Saturday buried some 34 houses in Pasir Langu village.

On Sunday, 72 people remained missing, many feared buried under tons of mud, rocks and uprooted trees. About 230 residents living near the site were evacuated to government shelters.
