Bangladesh - Death Toll From Landslides Rises to 106 - NYTimes.com Searchers on Thursday pulled out 15 bodies that had been buried under mud and debris after landslides and floods caused by monsoon rains hit southern Bangladesh, raising the toll to 106 deaths this week. The landslides occurred mainly in remote villages with poor roads, making rescue work more difficult, and the flooding was disrupting communications. About 500 houses were washed away.
