   Colombo, Shri Lanka – A mudslide triggered by monsoon   
   rains buried scores of workers' houses at a tea   
   plantation in central Shri Lanka, raising fears that   
   hundreds may have been killed.   
      
   In the chaos that followed Wednesday morning's disaster,   
   there was confusion about the number of dead and missing   
   because government officials reported different figures   
   and later reduced the number of missing by 100 without   
   explanation.   
      
   The mudslide struck at about 7:30 a.m. and wiped out 120   
   workers' homes at the Koslanda tea plantation, said Lal   
   Sarath Kumara, an official from the Disaster Management   
   Center. The plantation is in the town of Koslanda in   
   Badulla district about 140 miles east of Colombo.
