Authorities in Haiti say at least three miners died when part of a mountain collapsed near a poor neighborhood of the capital, Port-au-Prince.
United Nations spokesman Fred Blaise says U.N. peacekeepers are digging through the muck with bulldozers and other equipment in case anyone else was trapped when the earth gave way Wednesday.
He says the workers were mining the mountain for construction materials near the impoverished neighborhood of Jean-Marie Guilloux.
