A bus plunged from a mountain road in Afghanistan’s Hindu Kush mountains Wednesday, catching fire and leaving as many as 35 people dead, though authorities were still pulling burned bodies from the wreckage. Dr. Sanim Rasouli, health director in the Baghlan province, says the bus picked up speed, struck other vehicles and then plunged off a road near the Salang Pass, a major route through the mountains about 115 kilometers north of the capital city Kabul.
