As many as 20 people were killed when a minibus struck a land mine in Guinea-Bissau, ABC News reported.
A bus was traveling between the towns of Bissora and Encheia in the north of the country when the explosion occurred.
The minibus was completely destroyed, and the blast was strong enough to render most victims unrecognizable to their relatives.
Local officials say the mine may date to the country's fight for independence from colonial power Portugal.
