6 Are Killed by Volcanic Eruption
From Times Wire Reports
Small eruptions shook the Soufriere Hills volcano on the island of Montserrat, and rescue workers found six bodies a day after a large eruption spewed tons of hot rock and ash. The six dead, all adults, were the first fatalities since the 3,000-foot volcano began erupting in July 1995. Rescuers in two helicopters searched for more than a dozen people believed trapped by this week’s eruption.
