NAIROBI, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Fourteen people were killed in a landslide near a monastery in Ethiopia's Amhara region, the state-run Amhara Media Corporation said late on Monday.
• The landslide occurred near the Tsadkane Mariam Monastery in Amhara's North Shewa zone, the broadcaster said.
• Search teams supported by excavation machinery were working to recover bodies, it said.
• The Amhara Media Corporation report did not say what caused the landslide, but independent news reports said it was triggered by heavy rains.
• Ethiopia is in its main rainy season, which runs from June to September.
