<b>Hundreds die in South Asia quake </b>
<b>Pakistan says more than 1,000 people may have died
in a powerful quake that also hit north India and
Afghanistan.</b>
The 7.6-magnitude quake with the epicentre 80km

At least 500 died in North-West Frontier province in
Pakistan. More than 450 died on both sides of the disputed territory of Kashmir.
In Islamabad, people rushed to dig with bare hands to
