Landslide kills six people in Sudan

KHARTOUM, Oct 8 (KUNA) -- Six people were killed and five others injured as a result of a landslide of a lime hill in Dar Al-Salam town, Umm Durman City, central Sudan, on Tuesday.
One of the wounded is in critical condition, Dr. Mohammad Sayed, director of Omm Durman Hospital, told Sudan News Agency (SUNA) tonight.
The accident, just a link in a chain, resulted from overuse of limestone from the hill by local residents, the report said, noting that the police services prevented locals from excavating in the area. (end) hhi.gb KUNA 090048 Oct 13NNNN
