At least 100 dead after strong quake hits Afghanistan, Pakistan

A powerful earthquake struck a remote area of Afghanistan on Oct. 26, shaking the capital Kabul and killing at least 24 people while 76 were killed in neighbouring Pakistan, officials said.

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