KASHKAK, Afghanistan: The hardscrabble village of Kashkak, a collection of mud-brick homes perched on a dusty plateau in western Afghanistan, is now a pile of rubble.

The village was flattened by a 6.3-magnitude quake, followed by a series of eight powerful aftershocks, that buried many of its inhabitants on Saturday morning.
