13 April 2005 - More than 25,000 panicked residents have been evacuated from the slopes of a volcano on Sumatra island and officials raised the alert level on Wednesday as the mountain's activity intensified. The heightened rumbling of Mount Talang has coincided with a string of moderate earthquakes on Sumatra, which is still recovering from a massive December 26 quake and tsunami that killed nearly 130,000 people in Aceh province to the north.
