There is the potential for flooding. Farther north, less intense showers will reach from Minnesota to Maryland and Maine. The moisture and accompanying cool air are associ- ated with the same storm that delivered severe weather earlier in the week. A swath of dry air and building warmth is forecast to reach from the inte- rior South to Texas, the southern Plains and the Four Corners. Heat will hold over the Southwest. A pocket of cool air will affect the northern Plains.

The deal reached on Homs, Syria's third-largest city, follows a series of mil- itary gains by the regime around the capital, Damas- cus, and in the country's vi- tal center. "It will certainly mark a new chapter for the regime, a chapter where it's regain- ing control of the country," said Ayham Kamel, an ana- lyst with the Eurasia group in London. A government seizure of Homs would be "the icing on the cake for Assad," said Charles Lister, a visiting fel- low at Brookings Doha Cen- ter. Face-savingdeal? Although the agreement, if it holds, represents a de- moralizing admission of de- feat by opposition forces, it can also be seen as a face- saving deal for both sides. Weakened rebels, for whom Homs' collapse was only a matter of time, get a safe exit, while the government can save manpower and weapons and claim it was able to retake the last rebel bastions without blood. The Syrian government can now declare a victory of sorts by claiming con- trol over two of the coun- try's largest cities — Homs and Damascus — as well as the Mediterranean coast, Assad's ancestral heart- land. But Assad has lost control over large swaths of territory, particularly in the north, and continues to rule over a divided country with a raging insurgency. Syrian officials have scheduled elec- tions for June 3 but say bal- loting will not take place in rebel-held areas. The 48-hour cease-fire deal, reported by opposi- tion activists and pro-gov- ernment TV stations, came after heavy airstrikes and artillery bombardment of rebel-held areas intensified in recent weeks. In a sign the truce was taking hold, an As- sociated Press team in Homs on Friday reported that the city was unusually quiet, with no shots fired from ei- ther side. The bloodstained city in the central western plains of Syria was among the first to rise up against the pres- ident. Early on, residents tried to recreate the fervor of Egypt's Tahrir Square with waves of anti-Assad protests, only to face siege upon siege by government forces. Homs became a bat- tleground that left entire blocks and much of its his- toric quarters in ruins with collapsed walls and scorched buildings. One Homs-based opposi- tion activist said it was a bit- ter moment for rebels barri- caded in 13 neighborhoods around the city's historic center. MIDDLE EAST WAR Cease-fire,evacuation deal in Syria's Homs By Amir Shah The Associated Press KABUL, AFGHANISTAN A landslide triggered by heavy rain buried large sections of a remote northeastern Af- ghan village on Friday, kill- ing at least 350 people and leaving more than 2,000 missing. Villagers looked on helplessly and the governor appealed for shovels to help dig through the mass of mud that flattened every home in its path. The mountainous area in Badakhshan province has experienced days of heavy rain and flooding, and the side of a cliff col- lapsed onto the village of Hobo Barik around mid- day. Landslides and ava- lanches are frequent in Af- ghanistan, but Friday's was one of the deadliest. Gov. Shah Waliullah Ad- eeb said more than 2,000 people were missing af- ter the landslide buried some 300 homes — about a third of all the houses in the area. At least 350 people were confirmed dead, according to Ari Gaitanis, a spokes- man from the United Na- tions Assistance Mission in Afghanistan. He said the U.N. was working with au- thorities on the ground to rescue people still trapped. The governor said res- cue crews were working but didn't have enough equip- ment. "It's physically impossible right now," Adeeb said. "We don't have enough shovels; we need more machinery." Badakhshan provincial police chief, Maj. Gen. Fazi- luddin Hayar said rescuers had pulled seven survivors and three bodies from the mounds of mud and earth but held out little hope that more survivors would be found. "Now we can only help the displaced people. Those trapped under the landslide and who have lost lives, it is impossible to do anything for them," Hayar said. Video footage of the scene showed a large section of the mountain collapsed, send- ing mud and earth tumbling onto the village below. The landslide was likely caused by heavy rain, said Abdullah Homayun Dehqan, the province's director for National Disaster Depart- ment. He said floods last week in different districts of the province killed four people and eight more were still missing. Landslides occur fre- quently in the province, but they generally happen in re- mote areas and produce far fewer casualties, said Mo- hammad Usman Abu Zar from the Meteorology De- partment of Badakhshan province. Authorities evacuated a nearbyvillageoverconcerns about further landslides, the governor said. Dehqan said blankets and tents had been sent and about 400 people from nearby villages had gathered to help with the rescue effort. Hayar said the landslide happened about 1 p.m. Fri- day, a day of worship in Af- ghanistan when many fam- ilies would have been at home instead of at work. Badakhshan province, nestled in the Hindu Kush and Pamir mountain ranges and bordering China, is one of the most remote in the country. The area has seen few attacks from insurgents following the 2001 U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan.
