EGYPT TRANSPORT MINISTER RESIGNED OVER TRAIN CRASH


CAIRO - Egypt's transportation minister Mohammed Mansur resigned on Tuesday over a train crash that killed 18 people earlier this week, the official news agency MENA reported.
  • The agency said President Hosni Mubarak has accepted Mansur's resignation, in which he took responsibility for the deadly accident that also injured 36 people.
  • The accident happened when a passenger train drove full-speed into the back of another southwest of the Egyptian capital Cairo on Saturday. The first train had made an unscheduled halt, apparently after the driver saw a water buffalo on the track.
  • Egypt's national railway system is the biggest in the Middle East, with early 5,000 km (3,150 miles) of track, according to Egyptian National Railways, which employs 86,000 people.
  • Egypt's deadliest ever train crash happened in February 2002 when the bodies of at least 361 passengers were recovered from a train following a fire.
