    At least six top-flight Togolese soccer players were killed and another 28 people critically injured Saturday after a bus carrying their team plunged into a ravine and caught fire.

    In a statement read on national television, the Togo government said president Faure Gnassingbe had ordered that those injured from the Etoile Filante club be taken to the military wing of the Lome Central Hospital to receive urgent medical attention.

    A delegation, led by sports minister Christophe Tchao, traveled to the accident site with an ambulance to evacuate the injured.
