None
At least 12 workers were killed when their bus plunged into a canal west of Cairo on Saturday morning, according to a health official.
Ambulance Authority Chairman Ahmed al-Ansari added that 15 injured workers were rescued from the waters of the Marioutiya canal.
A security official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters, said the bus fell off a bridge into the canal and that the cause of the accident was still unclear.
Images broadcast on private television channels showed rescue workers pulling a lifeless body and the mangled yellow bus out of the murky canal as crowds of bystanders gathered at the water's edge.
