8 boys rescued from Thai cave; football coach, 4 others still trapped

Mae Sai: A total of four ambulances have left the area around the flooded cave in northern Thailand where members of a youth soccer team have been trapped for more than two weeks, suggesting eight of the 13 trapped people have now been extracted.

Thai officials have been tight-lipped about the rescue operation, and would not comment on how many people were removed Monday.

On Sunday, teams of divers brought out four of the trapped boys but waited several hours before confirming their safe rescue.
