At least 14 former paramilitary soldiers died Saturday when their bus plunged into a ravine in Guatemala.

More than 30 others were injured when the brakes on the bus failed, causing it to plunge 50 meters into a ravine.

The former soldiers were taking part in a reforestation program established to help those involved in Guatemala's 36-year civil war that ended in 1996.
