A huge fire, started after a bridge collapsed over oil pipelines during torrential rains at a government storage depot, surged through the village of Durunka, killing at least 200 people. The flaming petroleum, carried on flood waters 200 miles south of Cairo, was still burning out of control late this afternoon. A local member of Egypt's ruling National Democratic Party criticized the government for building the depot in a densely populated area.
