Eight dead in Bangladesh train crash

Two trains have collided in eastern Bangladesh, killing at least eight people and injuring more than 30.

Five of the injured are said to be in critical condition.

The accident happened when a train travelling from the northern city of Sylhet to Chittagong, in the south-east of the country, hit a stationary train at Azampur, about 80km (50 miles) from the capital, Dhaka.

Communications Minister Nazmul Hudda said the crew of the Chittagong-bound train had been suspended from duty on suspicion of having ignored a red signal.
