Myanmar jade mine landslide kills 13

Afp, Yangon

A landslide in northern Myanmar's notoriously dangerous jade mining region has killed 13 people, a local official said yesterday, the latest deadly incident to hit the secretive billion-dollar industry. The men died when a wall of unstable earth collapsed and buried them in Kachin state. Scores of people die in  landslides in the jade mining area every year.
