7 victims recovered after island mudslide

-

Search teams have recovered seven dead, including a 3-weekold infant and a pair of young siblings, buried in mud and debris that hurtled down a mountainsi­de and through a densely populated port city on the resort island of Ischia, officials said Sunday.

The Naples prefect confirmed that five people remained missing, and feared buried under the debris of an enormous landslide that struck Casamiccio­la before dawn on Saturday. Its force collapsed buildings and pushed vehicles into the sea.

The other victims were identified as the infant boy's parents, a 5-year-old girl and her 11-year-old brother, a 31-year-old island resident and a Bulgarian tourist.
