Egypt: 13 workers dead under collapsed factory

Egyptian authorities say rescue workers pulled 13 bodies from under a factory which collapsed in the port city of Alexandria during severe rainstorms that battered the Middle East.

A security official said Monday rescue teams continued their search for at least 15 more workers believed to be trapped in the rubble of the factory that collapsed a day earlier. Nine people were rescued alive, suffering from broken bones, the official said on condition of anonymity because he was not allowed to speak to the media. (AP)
