Nepal Earthquake Toll Tops 7,500; Bodies Found in Langtang 
-----------------------------------------------------------


 
In Nepal, the death toll from a 7.8-magnitude earthquake has topped
7,500. Scores of bodies have been discovered in the remote village of
Langtang along a popular Himalayan trekking route. It's believed the
entire village was wiped out. Nepali foreign minister Mahendra Bahadur
Pandey said the death toll could still reach 10,000.

Mahendra Bahadur Pandey: "There may be 10,000 people to be dead, it is
supposed. But we wish it not have to be in that number. But the final
number will be at the time when we'll complete to remove the debris and
find out what is the result of it."
