Guatemalans bury dead after volcano eruption; nearly 200 missing

By Sofia Menchu EL RODEO, Guatemala (Reuters) - Stunned Guatemalans near the Fuego volcano on Friday buried relatives and friends killed in its most violent eruption in four decades, after dangerous flows of ash, rocks and toxic gases in the morning prompted panicked locals to evacuate.
