SOFIA: Nine migrants from Afghanistan and Pakistan were killed and nine others were injured in a minibus accident in southern Bulgaria on Sunday, police said. The minibus was apparently driven by a 16-year-old Bulgarian who did **t have a driver’s licence. He was among the dead. The bus was on the motorway near Pazardjik, close to the Greek and Turkish borders. Police said the migrants did **t have any identity documents with them but the survivors said they were Afghan and Pakistani nationals. In recent months, European Union member Bulgaria has seen a fall in the number of illegal migrants crossing from its southeastern border with Turkey, which was almost completely sealed with a razor-wire-topped fence.
