By Steve Scherer ACCUMOLI, Italy (Reuters) – A powerful earthquake devastated a string of mountainous towns in central Italy on Wednesday, trapping residents under piles of rubble, killing at least 38 people and leaving thousands homeless. A family of four, including two boys aged 8 months and 9 years, were buried when their house in Accumoli imploded. At the Vatican, Pope Francis cancelled part of his general audience to pray for the victims.
