Death Toll at 34 in Flash Floods

Flash floods that swept over hundreds of sleeping campers killed 14 more people, bringing the death toll to 34, relief officials said. Heavy rains and raging currents hampered the search for 70 people missing in the Chiri Mountains, about 135 miles south of Seoul, officials said. Rescue officer Lee Jong Kun, 46, died in a hospital, and another rescuer remained in critical condition after jumping into the water to save a man trapped in a car. Authorities recovered the bodies of two children. Officials said they feared that the casualty figures could rise as families reported more missing people.
