Fire on bus kills 14 in
north-west Iran
Fourteen people were killed and 15 injured in
(Kurdistan) north-west Iran when a gas cylinder on a
bus toppled over and burst into flames, state
television has reported.
The bus was travelling to Tehran from the western
province of Kurdistan on Thursday when the fuel
canister fell over and exploded.
Iran has one of the world's worst road fatality
rates with an average of three deaths an hour.
Road conditions have worsened this week because of
heavy snow.
