Trains collide in Egypt, two dead-security sources

CAIRO, Sept 4 (Reuters) An Egyptian passenger train and a freight train collided north of Cairo today, killing two people and injuring 16 others in the second fatal rail accident in Egypt in two weeks, security sources said.

The crash in the town of Shibin al-Qanater, 30 km north of the Egyptian capital, came two weeks after two commuter trains collided in the country's Nile Delta, killing 58 people in Egypt's worst rail disaster in four years.
