JAKARTA: Rescuers in Indonesia pulled a woman alive from a car trapped by a landslide for 13 hours as torrential rains caused havoc in parts of the capital and neighbouring West Java, killing at least five people. Rescuers in orange uniforms finally pulled the trapped woman from her car at about 7am on Tuesday. Another woman rescued several hours earlier from the same car died in hospital, an executive of the company she worked for told local TV. Rescuers on Tuesday said three bodies were recovered from a village near Bogor in West Java including a 1-year-old child. On Monday, rescuers retrieved a body from villages ravaged by landslides in the hilly West Java resort town of Puncak and were searching for eight others.
