Nine Muslim pilgrims die in Egypt bus crash
Nine Egyptians on a religious pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia died and more than 40 were injured yesterday when their bus flipped over in the latest of a string of deadly Egyptian transport accidents, security sources said.
A British tourist also died yesterday, after the bus he was travelling in overturned near Suez, east of the Egyptian capital. The Egyptian pilgrims were travelling from Cairo to the port of Safaga to catch a ferry to Saudi Arabia. They were headed to the Muslim holy city of Mecca to make the minor Umra pilgrimage.
A series of deadly transport accidents in recent weeks have sparked public anger at what critics call a government failure to enforce safety standards.
