RIYADH: Saudi Arabias King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman have offered condolences to the King of Malaysia and the Prime Minister following a landslide in the state of Selangor, which resulted in deaths, injuries and missing persons, Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday. The search for missing campers caught in the deadly landslide at an unlicensed campsite continued for a third day on Sunday, with the fire department saying the chance of finding survivors is slim. At least 24 people died after a landslide tore through a campsite early on Friday while campers slept in tents at Batang Kali, a popular hilly area about 50km (30 miles) north of capital Kuala Lumpur. Of the 94 people caught in the landslide, 61 were safe and nine still missing, the Selangor state fire and rescue department said. Those killed included seven children.
