Egypt's public prosecutor orders burial for Badrashin train victims
Egypt's top prosecutor launches official investigation into deadly train accident that killed at least 19 army recruits
Ahram Online Published in Ahram Online on 15 - 01 - 2013

Talaat Abdullah, Egypt's prosecutor general, has ordered the burial of 19 victims killed in an overnight train accident in the Giza town of Badrashin.
Abdullah ordered to halt train schedules on Tuesday in order to launch an official investigation into Monday's accident that also injured 120 others.
A security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Ahram Online on Tuesday that the death toll was likely to rise since many of the wounded were in critical condition.
According to the official MENA news agency, the Egyptian ambulance authority sent 66 ambulance cars to the site of the accident to help with rescue efforts.
The train was carrying conscripted youth on their way to an army camp.
Egypt's railways have a poor safety record and Egyptians have long complained that successive governments have failed to enforce even basic safeguards leading to a string of deadly crashes.
