Detainees remain trapped
At least 30 detainees, among them 10 women, remained trapped yesterday in the rubble of a seven-storey police building that collapsed in the Angolan capital Luanda, killing four people and injuring 106 others, Angola's Interior Ministry said.
State news agency Angop said rescue workers tried through the night to reach ground floor cells where the women were being held when the National Criminal Investigation Department building collapsed shortly before dawn on Saturday.
The emergency workers were in touch with the women after managing to get a mobile phone to them.
