Deadly Landslide on Main Road Connecting Pakistan and Afghanistan

by VOA News

   At least two people are dead after a landslide buried dozens of trucks
   on the main road between Pakistan and Afghanistan Tuesday.

   More than 20 trucks were buried in the disaster, which struck at the
   border crossing on the Khyber Pass, a major point of trade between the
   South Asian nations. Several people were also injured.

   Officials said a heavy rain storm overnight could have triggered the
   landslide.
