Mt. Kelud spews poisonous gas, lava

KEDIRI: Foreign and local sightseers continued pouring into Kediri's popular tourist destination of Mt. Kelud on Saturday, despite the regency's warning to steer clear of the volcano, now spewing poisonous gases and lava.

The tourists kept insisting they wanted to catch a glimpse of the coughing beauty while coughing.

Local authorities have prohibited locals and visitors from approaching the restive mountain since it started emitting gases and lava late Friday.

The Blitar office for national unity and security said the poisonous gases could be dangerous if strong winds carried them into human settlements. - JP
