KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Rescuers in Nepal have recovered a total of 11 bodies from the river that two buses full of people were swept into by a landslide. The bodies were found in different locations on the riverbanks. Government administrator Khima Nanda Bhusal said Monday that seven of the bodies have been identified and relatives contacted. Because the other four bodies are not yet identified, it’s unclear if they were from the two buses. The vehicles were on a key highway connecting Nepal’s capital to southern parts of the country when they were swept away Friday morning near Simaltal, about 120 kilometers west of Kathmandu.
