Former dictator Jorge Rafael Videla, who took power over Argentina in a 1976 coup and led a military junta that killed thousands of his fellow citizens in a dirty war to eliminate so-called “subversives,” died Friday. He was 87.LUSAKA, Zambia – Police in Zambia say at least 51 people have been killed after a bus crashed into a semi-truck north of the country’s capital of Lusaka.
Police spokeswoman Elizabeth Kanjela said the crash happened Thursday morning at Chifamba, a town about 62 miles north of Lusaka.
Kanjela said the crash involved a bus run by Zambia’s postal service, which provides passenger service on buses that also carry the country’s mail. She said police were still investigating the crash and that bodies might still be inside the wreckage.
It wasn’t immediately clear what the cause of the crash was, though it happened on a two-lane highway known for having high traffic, even during the night.
