1 killed in Malaysia rock slide

Kuala Lumpur: A rock slide at a Buddhist temple built into a cave has killed one person and trapped more than a dozen others for hours in central Malaysia.

Police said on Monday that a group of tourists, including a Nepali and a Chinese national, were on a staircase to the peak of the limestone mountain when boulders came crashing down.

District police chief in Perak state Azisman Alias said 18 people trapped for three hours at the Perak Cave Temple were freed by rescuers after the rock fall on Sunday.
