(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) The death toll in Colombia's landslide has nearly surpassed 80, UPI cited media reports as saying Wednesday.
Heavy rains triggered Monday's slide in northwest Colombia, which sent mud and debris into many homes there, President Juan Manuel Santos said Wednesday. The slide occurred in the town of Salgar, about 60 miles away from Medellin.
So far at least 78 people have died and many others are injured, BBC and CNN News reported Wednesday.
