ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - A powerful 7.6-magnitude earthquake near the

Pakistan-India border Saturday reduced villages to rubble, triggered landslides

and

flattened an apartment building, killing more than 1,700 people in both

nations. Pakistan's army called the devastation "a national tragedy."

 

In the capitals of Pakistan, India and Afghanistan, buildings shook and

walls swayed for about a minute, and panicked people ran from their homes and

offices. Tremors continued for hours afterward. Communications throughout the

region were cut.

 

 

 

Dear Bela and All ~ just wanted you and the group to know that this tragedy

will be reflected on next week's prayer list. And, besides, I know everyone

is praying for these people right now. Blessings all ~ Linda
