Miyun, China: Torrential rain soaking northern China triggered a deadly landslide, burst riverbanks and washed away cars on Monday, with thousands of people forced to evacuate the days-long deluge.
In Hebei province, which encircles the capital, a landslide in a village near the city of Chengde killed four people, with eight still missing, state broadcaster CCTV reported.
