As many as 40 children aged four
to six years old have been killed in a crash involving a school bus and a train
in the central Egyptian province of Assyut, officials say.
The bus was carrying about 60
children from a nursery school when it was hit by a train near Manfalut, 350km
(230 miles) south of Cairo.
The Egyptian transport minister
has resigned, state media said.
Egypt's roads and railways have a
poor safety record.
Egyptian President Mohammed Mursi
ordered his ministers to offer support to the families of those killed, the
state news agency reported.
