                       Nine Killed in Himalayan Avalanche

   by VOA News

   At least nine climbers have been killed in an avalanche on the world's
   eighth-highest mountain.
   About 25 people were near the top of the 8,156-meter Mount Manaslu in
   Nepal when it was hit by a wall of snow early Sunday, in one of the
   worst tragedies in Himalayan mountaineering in recent years.
   Local officials said most of those killed were French and that other
   climbers were from Italy, Germany and Spain.
   The identities of the victims were not released.
