Ecuador landslide kills 9

QUITO A landslide caused by heavy rains buried three homes in a rural area along Ecuador's Pacific coast Wednesday, killing nine people, officials said. Seven other homes near the town of Quevedo. 90 miles southwest of the capital, Quito, were damaged by the avalanche of mud and rock. Among the vic­ tims were six members of a family who were buried in the two small houses they lived in at the base of a hillside. The Red Cross said. Ecuador, which is near the end of its Septnmber-May rainy season, has been hit in the last week by nearly nonstop showers along the coast and in the central highlands. Landslides in Quito, which lies in a valley between two mountain ranges, have claimed the lives of at least 15 people this month.

Ciampi can ask someone else from the center-left to try to form a new government, he can call immedi­ ate elections, or can appoint a nonpolitical caretaker to lead until scheduled elections in the spring of 2001. D’Alema's conservative opposition, emboldened by its victorious showing in regional races over the weekend, has been pressing for early elections — some­ thing the fractured and debilitated center-left dreads.
