This stuff keeps happening and the answer's always "more shariah."
Raging floodwaters on Sunday submerged houses and roads on Indonesia's Sumatra island, killing more than 70 people and forcing tens of thousands from their homes, officials and reports said. The worst hit region was in Tamiyang district eastern Aceh province on the northern tip of the island, said Nurdin Jos, an Aceh government spokesman. "Rescuers have evacuated 60 bodies from villages in Aceh Tamiyang district, while dozens others are still reported still missing," he said. On Saturday, 14 people were confirmed dead in the floods. State news agency Antara reported 114 people had been killed, which were triggered by days of seasonal rain. |
