Agalawatte, Sri Lanka (AP) -- Sri Lanka's military said Saturday that it is doubtful any missing people will be found alive two days after torrents of mud triggered by heavy rain covered homes in southern and western parts of the country, killing 100 people and leaving 99 others missing.
The Disaster Management Center said more than 27,000 people have been displaced by the landslides.
