                   Typhoon Kills 1, Injures Several in Taiwan

   Typhoon Soulik made landfall on Taiwan`s northeastern coast early
   Saturday, killing one person and injuring at least 21 others.
   Taiwan`s Central Emergency Operation Center said a 50-year-old police
   officer was killed when he was hit by flying bricks while on his way
   home overnight. Most of the injured were hit by trees or flying debris,
   driven by strong winds.
   Businesses and schools were closed and residents were advised to stay
   indoors. Strong winds and heavy rain disrupted rail, road and air
   traffic across the island.
   Forecasters predicted the storm would continue to affect Taiwan
   throughout Saturday, even though the eye has passed over the island.
   Soulik is headed for the provinces of Fujian and Zhejiang in China.
   Recent torrential rains across large parts of China have already left
   200 people dead or missing.
