Authorities say 46 others injured in rockslide that hit crowded shanty
town outside Cairo 
A resident angry at police shouts at them as they clear area of other
residents who had been digging through rubble, 07 Sep 2008Egyptian
authorities say at least 30 people have been killed and 46 others
injured in a rockslide that hit a crowded shanty town outside the
capital, Cairo. Sunday rescue workers are moving debris largely by hand
in a desperate attempt to find those believed to still be buried under
the rubble after Saturday's tragedy. Authorities say massive boulders
fell on the village at the foot of the Muqattam hills early in the
morning, flattening many houses. The Egyptian government says it plans
to evacuate the area sometime in the future because of fears of more
rockslides. Some information for this report was provided by AFP and AP.
