MULTAN, Pakistan — Railway officials say the death toll from a train derailment in southern Pakistan has risen to at least 30, with more than 90 others injured. Senior Railway officials said Sunday the Hazara Express was on its way from Karachi to Rawalpindi when its 10 cars derailed near Nawabshah. Rescue crews took injured passengers to the nearby People's Hospital in Nawabshah. The minister for railways says the crash could be due to a mechanical fault or the result of sabotage. He says an investigation was underway.
