Three die in Italian landslide

A landslide on the tiny island of Ischia in southern Italy caused the collapse of a hillside house today, killing three people, officials said.

A couple with their four children lived in the house, said the Carabinieri paramilitary police in Ischia.

Three of the family were found dead, while two were pulled out alive, said the Carabinieri.

Rescue workers were searching for the missing person, but efforts were being complicated by heavy rain.

Ischia is a picturesque island and popular tourist destination just off Naples.
