At least seven killed when train catches fire in Pakistan
Seven people were killed when a car on a moving passenger train caught fire overnight in southern Pakistan, officials said Thursday.
The blaze also badly damaged several other cars in the train, he said, and the cause remained unclear. In Pakistan, poor passengers often bring their own small gas stoves on the trains to cook their meals, despite rules barring the practice. Safety regulations are often ignored in overcrowded trains. Train accidents in Pakistan are often the result of poor railway infrastructure and official negligence.
