Strong earthquake hits Kashgar area in Xinjiang killing many
A powerful earthquake struck near Kashgar in Xinjiang late Tuesday killing at least 24 people and toppling buildings. Officials report a 35 mile epicenter northeast of Kashgar with communications cut in hardest hit zones and a 2000 foot crack in a dike as rescue teams race to reach survivors. The remote region near China's border with Kazakhstan is a busy Silk Road crossroads with many ethnic Kazaks. The quake follows recent strong tremors in Mongolia and Yunnan.
