Train crash kills four in Morocco

At least four people were killed and dozens injured when a train derailed near the Moroccan capital Rabat on Tuesday, a railway official said.

Another official said as many as eight might have been killed and 80 injured in the accident in Sidi Bouknadel, a town near Rabat.

State news agency MAP said a train had derailed near the town on the Rabat Kenitra line but did not give any details.

There was no immediate statement from the state-owned railway firm ONCF.

Earlier local news outlets reported that two trains had collided but then published images showing a train derailed near some residential buildings.
