Authorities arrest people over deadly Cairo train crash

Egyptian authorities have arrested five people over a deadly train crash and explosion at Cairo’s main railway station.

At least 25 people were killed when an unmanned locomotive slammed into a barrier inside the busy station, triggering a huge blast that also injured at least 47 people.

Previously, an investigation determined that a fight between two train conductors left the train unattended.

However, the accident triggered an online debate among Egyptians, with many blaming president Abdel-Fatteh El-Sissi’s government for not improving railway services in Egypt, even after a series of deadly accidents.
