REFILE - CHANGING WORDING TO "RED CROSS" Members of the Red Cross carry the body of a victim after a mudslide in San Miguel Eloxochitlan in the state of Puebla, July 5, 2007. A mudslide buried a bus carrying as many as 60 passengers in a remote region of Mexico on Wednesday. A local rescuer said those on board were probably killed but the government held out hope for survivors.
