Eleven killed in landslide at Burma jade mine

At least 11 people have been killed by a landslide in a jade mine in northern Burma and many more are feared missing.

Rescue workers are searching for bodies after a wall of unstable earth collapsed during a downpour on Monday night in Hpakant, Kachin state, the war-torn area that feeds a huge demand for the precious stone in neighbouring China. (Courtesy of thetimes.co.uk)
