Deadly Rockslide Hits Cairo Homes, Kill 31 
Thirty-one people are killed and 23 injured when a massive rockslide hit a crowded Cairo town, on Saturday September6, 2008, sending rocks and boulders crashing down on dozens of houses, security and medical source said. Some people are believed to be still trapped in the rubble and police have cordoned off the area. The remains of the town have been covered by a thick layer of dust. Angry residents blamed the Egyptian government for the tragedy. Rockslides periodically take place on the edges of the brittle Muqattam hills outside Cairo.
