Thousands dead in Afghan landslide
Three days after the earth swept through his village, burying entire houses and hundreds of people, Hashmat Khan is still digging in search of his family.
Standing in a hole he'd dug out that reached over his head, Khan said six members of his family were buried in the horrific landslide that swept over the village of Abi Barik in Badakhshan province.
"We have rescued two injured and taken out two dead bodies, and now we're trying to find two more," he said.
The landslide Friday killed hundreds of people — still no one has an exact number — and destroyed 300 homes and displaced hundreds more families. (AP)
