Tajikistan

Some bad news out of the former Soviet republic: a bus exploded after colliding with another bus, killing all 21 people on board, reports Reuters.

The accident occured 30 miles (50 kms) south of the capital, Dushanbe. According the report, the bus was running on liquefied gas, much more volatile than petrol. These accidents are not that unusual, mainly due to the high price of petrol, which forces some residents to find cheaper, alternative forms of fuel.

The Countryside in Tajikistan.
