Search for children trapped in quake

RESCUERS dug frantically in the rubble of a school dormitory yesterday, hunting for 135 children believed trapped after a powerful earthquake rumbled through southeastern Turkey. Reports say up to 100 people were killed and 390 injured.

Dozens of other children have been rescued from the debris of the boys' school. Hundreds of terrified parents waited for news.

"My friends are waiting for help in there. They were calling for help as they were pulling me out," 12-year-old Veysel Dagdelen said after he was pulled out of the debris.
