 　　TEGUCIGALPA, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) -- Six children, five of them brothers and sisters, were killed in northern Honduras Thursday when a landslide1 buried two homes under a ton of soil.

　　Two sisters survived the landslide and were taken to a public hospital in San Pedro Sula, 240 km north of the capital Tegucigalpa, for treatment of injuries, the department said.
