Fifteen killed in Nepal bus plunge =


   Kathmandu (dpa) - Fifteen people were killed in Nepal Monday, when a bus plunged into a river, police confirmed.

   Over a dozen people were injured when the bus fell into the Trishuli River along the Prithivi Highway, some 80 kilometres west of the capital Kathmandu.

   Six died soon after the crash and the others died while undergoing treatment.

   Police said the death toll was likely to rise as they were still searching for the missing. Fifty people were traveling on the bus.

   On Sunday, nearly 40 people were killed in Nepal when a bus carrying Indian pilgrims plunged into a canal. Several were still missing.
