Haiti quake risk

(nypost.com)

CHICAGO -- Haiti could be facing another quake disaster, experts said yesterday.

As many as 300,000 people died in the January quake originally believed to have been caused by an undetected fault.

But the journal Nature Geoscience concludes the fault originally blamed for the quake was not the source, and a new threat remains.

Meanwhile, a cholera outbreak on the island has already killed 250 people and sickened more than 3,000.
