200 Feared Dead in Brazil Mudslide

Filed at 9:56 a.m. ET

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) -- At least 200 people were buried and feared dead under the latest landslide to hit a slum in Rio de Janeiro's metropolitan area, authorities said Thursday.

If confirmed, the deaths would raise the toll sharply from the 153 people already known to have died this week in slides triggered by record rains.
