32 dead after Indonesia dam bursts: official

A dam burst its walls near the Indonesian capital Jakarta early Friday, killing 32 people and leaving hundreds of homes underwater, a health ministry official said."Thirty-two people were killed, four of them children. All of them drowned," official Danang Susanto told AFP."The dam burst happened at 2:00 am (1900 GMT Thursday) but before that there was heavy rain and wind, many trees were uprooted. People were still sleeping and couldn't do anything."
