Landslide in Mexico leaves many dead

A massive wave of mud and water swept through a Mexican village, leaving up to 16 people missing and feared dead after heavy rainfalls caused a hillside to collapse into a river, officials said.

The landslide blocked an already rain-swollen waterway and pushed a wall of water and debris over the remote village of San Juan Grijalva, home to about 600 people, most of whom fled into the hills ahead of the advancing wave.
