Colombia landslide kills 154 on city outskirts, scores injured
A landslide in Colombia's southwestern border province of Putumayo sent mud and debris crashing onto houses overnight, killing at least 154 people and injuring scores, officials said.
Heavy rains caused several rivers to overflow, pushing sediment and rocks onto buildings and roads in the provincial capital of Mocoa and immobilising cars in several feet of mud.
Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos flew to Mocoa, population 345,000, to oversee rescue efforts on the city outskirts and speak with affected families.
Officials were working to determine the number of missing, Santos said. Nearly 200 people were said to have been injured.

Tennis: Konta beats Wozniacki for Miami WTA title
Johanna Konta defeated Caroline Wozniacki 6-4, 6-3 to win the Miami Open - the biggest title won by a British woman in 40 years.
Konta, who had never won an elite WTA premier mandatory event, will move to number seven in the world rankings with the victory.
"Going into any match but especially against someone like Caroline who is such an athlete and can really stay out there as long as she needs, I think it was important for me to assert myself right away in the manner that I wanted to play... to give myself the best chance of executing what I wanted tactically," Konta said.
