CAIRO (AP) — Egypt has sacked the country’s top railway official, following three deadly train accidents in less than a month. Transportation Minister Kamal el-Wazir announced the wide-ranging changes Tuesday amid a pubic outcry over the crashes, which left more than 40 people dead and over 350 injured. The country’s railway system has a history of poorly maintained equipment and poor management. It is badly in need of an overhaul after a series of deadly crashes in recent years. Hundreds of train accidents are reported every year.
