A bus plunged over a cliff Saturday in southern Saudi Arabia, killing at least 25 people on board. The official Saudi Press Agency said 25 people were killed and eight were wounded, citing police in the southern district of Assir, where the crash took place. The bus, which started its journey from the capital Riyadh, drifted to the side of a mountain road, crashed through a guardrail and landed in a deep valley near the southwestern city of Abha. The Saudi reports did not provide the nationalities of the deceased, but other media reported that 7 Egyptians were among them.
