MILAN (AP) — Rescuers are digging through mud for a second day in the search for people believed missing following an enormous landslide on the Italian resort island of Ischia. One body was recovered on Saturday and the prefect said that 11 people remain missing in the port town of Casamicciola. They were feared buried under mud and debris that firefighters said was six meters (20 feet) deep in some places. Firefighter spokesman Luca Cari said the risks of new landslides remained, and that the quantity of mud complicated the search. The massive landslide before dawn on Saturday was triggered by exceptional rainfall.
