Local police on Thursday said that they have found what appeared to be a human bone in a vehicle buried in a landslide that occurred on Saturday in the village of Shimokitayama in Nara Prefecture, western Japan.
   Nara prefectural police are trying to identify the bone, believing that it belonged to a man in his 70s who could not be reached.
   On Tuesday, the Nara prefectural government and fire department found part of a vehicle matching descriptions of the man's car and its vehicle registration.
   The search resumed on Thursday morning after measures were taken to prevent a secondary disaster.
   According to the prefectural government, a 5-meter-high slope stretching around 30 meters along a national road collapsed on Saturday night, blocking the road.
