Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Sunday, 6 August 2006, 08:22 GMT 09:22 UK Pakistan bridge collapse kills 40 Forty people have died after a bridge collapsed in heavy monsoon rains in Pakistan's north-western city of Mardan, according to authorities. At least 100 people had gathered to watch the flooded river when part of the bridge caved in. Troops and local people have resumed the search for those still missing, officials say. Weeks of heavy rain and landslides have killed hundreds of people and displaced many more in Pakistan and India. The 10m (30ft) high bridge collapsed in Mardan, a city about 100km (60 miles) north-west of the capital, Islamabad, on Saturday. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/5249754.stm Dasha: Ve/Mo/Ve/Sa/Ra  satva Jorge Angelino Rua da Sociedade Filarmónica Perpétua Azeitonense, 29 2925-598 Azeitão Portugal jorge.angelino tel: mobile: 210813674 963916784 Add me to your address book...
