Cairo, Aug 11 (IANS) At least 20 people were killed and dozens more were injured on Friday in a collision involving two passenger trains in northern Egypt, health officials said.

One train was travelling from Cairo and the other from Port Said when they hit head-on in the northern coastal city of Alexandria, BBC cited local media reports as saying.
