One dead in Italian landslide

Heavy rainfall triggered a massive landslide early yesterday on the southern Italian resort island of Ischia, which destroyed buildings and swept parked cars into the sea, leaving at least one person dead and up to 12 missing.

The body of a woman was pulled from the mud, the Naples prefect Claudio Palomba, said.

At least 100 people were also reported stranded without electricity and water, and about 70 were housed in a community gymnasium.
