Train crash in Egypt kills one and injures at least 21 people
Both Russia and Ukriane deny responsibility for the strike
A LOCOMOTIVE crashed into the back of a Cairo-bound passenger train in southern Egypt today, killing at least one person and injuring many more.
The collision, the second serious train crash in a month in the North African country, occurred in the province of Minya, about 168 miles south of the capital, the railway authority said in a statement, adding that two carriages had fallen into an adjacent watercourse.
The cause of the crash was under investigation, the statement added.
