Hail storm kills dozens in Vietnam: state media*

HANOI, Nov 21 (AFP) Nov 21, 2006

Several dozen people were killed in Vietnam after a hail storm hit the
northern province Quang Ninh early Tuesday, state television said.

Several boats sunk because of heavy rain and strong wind but it was
unsure whether there were people on board, the VTV news bulletin said.

Hail storms have been reported over the past few days in northern
Vietnam, including in the capital Hanoi on Monday. Heavy rains have also
caused serious floodings.

Local authorities could not be immediately contacted.

Quang Ninh, 200 kilometers (120 miles) north east of Hanoi, is famous
for its world heritage site, Ha Long Bay.
