Lombok earthquake: Hikers trapped on mountain after landslidesMore than 200 hikers are trapped on a mountain on the Indonesian tourist island of Lombok, after a deadly earthquake triggered landslides which cut off escape routes. The 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck early on Sunday not far from the base of the mountain. Authorities say more than 500 people, mostly foreign tourists, have already come down from the mountain but 266 are still trapped up there. Rinjani, a volcanic mountain, draws hundreds of thousands of climbers from across the world each year, says BBC Indonesian editor Rebecca Henschke on the island. Dramatic footage filmed by guides on the mountain at the time of the earthquake showed huge landslides near the crater lake.
