More than 200 people were killed when petrol wagons exploded on a train in northeast Iran, the state IRNA news agency reported Wednesday. Fifty-one runaway train wagons, set loose by earth tremors, were filled with petrol, fertilizer and sulphur products. They exploded 13 miles from the city of Nishapur, shattering windows within a radius of more than 10 km. "The number of those killed in this disaster is now more than 200," the agency quoted Vahid Barkchi, an emergency official in the northeastern province of Khorasan as saying. "The emergency team is transferring more than 350 injured to hospitals nearby," he added. He warned that the final assessment of damage was likely to be far higher than these initial estimates. IRNA said five villages were seriously damaged because of the explosion. More than 40,000 people died in an earthquake on December 26 in the ancient citadel city of Bam in southeastern Iraq. **PHOTO CAPTION*** A TV grab taken from Iranian TV shows the train loaded with sulphur, petrol and fertiliser that derailed and exploded in northeast Iran killing more than 200 people and injuring 350.
