No survivors yet found in Tibet landslide search (Update)


BEIJING: A huge search and rescue operation failed to locate any survivors by Saturday morning, more than a day after a giant landslide in Tibet buried 83 mine workers under two million cubic metres of earth.

Search teams using sniffer dogs and radar combed the mountainside throughout the night after a three-kilometre (two-mile) section of land buried a copper mine workers' camp in Maizhokunggar county, east of Tibetan capital Lhasa.
