Nine die in bus crash
Sunday, March 4th, 2007
Nine people have been killed near Khénifra as the bus they were traveling in fell into a ravine.
According to the Moroccan press agency MAP, 36 others were injured, six of them seriously.
The accident happened Saturday morning around 11.30 on the road between Agelmous and Khénifra, some 195 kilometers (120 miles) southeast of Casablanca.
MAP reports that an initial investigation suggests that a mechanical problem caused the bus to veer off the bending mountainous road and plunge into a ravine.
The region is little visited by foreign tourists.
