Afganistan: At least 53 dead after strong quake

A powerful earthquake struck a remote area of northeastern Afghanistan on Monday, shaking the capital Kabul and killing at least 17 people while 36 were killed in neighboring Pakistan, officials said.

The death toll could climb because communications were down in much of the rugged Hindu Kush mountain range area where the quake was centered.

Reports of deaths poured in from different areas of both countries.

In one of the worst single incidents, a panicked evacuation at girls' school killed at least 12 students in the Afghan province of Takhar.
