AFGHANISTAN

Crash inferno kills dozens

At least 73 people were killed and scores were injured in Afghanistan when two buses collided with a fuel tanker on a highway in the central province of Ghazni, causing a massive explosion, officials said on Sunday. Jawid Salangi, a spokesman for the governor of Ghazni said two buses, carrying some 125 passengers from Kabul to Kandahar in southern Afghanistan crashed into the tanker, which was traveling in the opposite direction, setting off a fire that quickly engulfed all three vehicles.
