China-Aftershock
The area in China devastated by an earthquake has been hit by another strong aftershock as rescuers pulled scores more people alive from rubble.

Geological Survey said the latest quake measuring 6.1 magnitude, which follows scores of slightly less strong tremors during the week, hit 49 miles west of Guangyuan in Sichuan province.

It struck as rescuers returned to Beichuan, where thousands of residents have fled over fears a dam could ruin.
