At least 21 dead in Nile boat collision

At least 21 people celebrating an engagement were killed on the Nile north of Cairo late on Wednesday when a cargo ship hit their chartered boat, medical and security sources said. Five of the party were rescued from the river, but at least six were still missing early on Thursday. Security sources said the search had been hampered by darkness. Police arrested the captain of the cargo boat and his deputy after the accident, one of many that happen on the Nile and off Egypt's coast each year.
