'200 killed' in Moroccan earthquake

A powerful earthquake struck northern Morocco overnight, toppling houses and killing at least 86 people. It was feared the toll could rise to at least 200.

The quake shook rural areas near the coastal city of Al-Hoceima, officials said, and there were deep worries about the fate of three villages – Ait Kamra, Tamassint and Imzourn – where 30,000 people live in mud structures unable to withstand a major natural disaster.
