Rescue teams carry on the operation to move the wreckage of the
exploded train in Dehnow village near Nishabour some 700 kms
( 435 miles) east of Tehran, Wednesday Feb. 18, 2004. Runaway
train cars carrying fuel, fertilizer and industrial chemicals
derailed and exploded in northeastern Iran on Wednesday, killing
more than 200 people, injuring hundreds more and devastating
five nearby villages, the government news agency said. Most of
the known dead were fire and rescue workers, who died in the
blast hours after the train cars derailed and caught fire. (AP
