BANGKOK (Reuters) - At least 13 people have been killed and 31 injured after a bus carrying Chinese tourists slid off a road in Laos, the Chinese Embassy in Vientiane, the Laotian capital, said on Tuesday.

The bus was carrying 44 Chinese and two Laotians - a driver and a guide - when it skidded of the road and plunged into a ravine late Monday, prompting a rescue operation in a mountainous area where road conditions are poor.
