Report: At least 200 buried in Rio mudslide

None

A top Rio de Janeiro state security official says at least 200 people have been buried in the latest landslide to hit the area.

 

Civil Defense subsecretary Pedro Machado tells Globo television that the slide plowed into a slum in the city of Niteroi. Record rains since Monday have triggered mudslides across the Rio region, and official death tolls currently stand at 153. (AP)
