By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
State media reported that a landslide in northern China has buried a brick factory, killing at least 16 workers. The official Xinhua News Agency said rescuers were working Saturday to pull out two others who remain trapped after the landslide hit Friday morning in northern Shanxi province near Luliang town. One other worker has already been pulled out. Rescue efforts were suspended overnight because of fears of a second landslide in the area. More than 300 people and 20 earth-moving machines have been used in the search, Xinhua said.
