Earthquake kills more than 300 in northern Egypt
The Associated Press
CAIRO, Egypt — One of the strongest earthquakes to hit Egypt in modern times topped buildings yesterday and caused deadly stampedes of panicked residents. The government said 370 people were killed and more than 3,300 injured.
A mother, holding her dead son and shouting for help, was pulled from the rubble of a building more than seven hours after the afternoon earthquake that registered 5.9 on the Richter scale.

Many victims were trapped to death, including more than 100 schoolchildren in the Cairo area, said Maj. Gen. Rida Abdel-Aziz, an assistant interior minister. They were killed as they rushed from swaying

14 million people. The quake was centered about 20 miles southwest of Cairo, a few miles from the pyramids and the Sphinx on the Giza Plateau. But Information Minister Safawat e-Sherif said major monuments survived the 20-second temblor.
The quake was preceded by a roar.
"At first I thought it was a bomb in the bank," said Samy Mohammed Ali, a lawyer. "Then I saw people running, and I realized it was an earthquake."
People thronged in Cairo's streets after the ackle. Many seemed dazed. One woman stood on a sidewalk screaming. A knot of people sat in a
downtown square, tears streaking
down their cheeks.
Thousands crowded around the ruins of a 14-story apartment building in the northern suburb of Heliopolis late yesterday while four buildozers cleared debris under floodlights.
An ambulance worker said about 15 people were pulled out alive before nightfall, including mother Samia Ragab Khail.

The dead in the southern suburb of Maadi, where many Americans and other Westerners live, included six Egyptian schoolchildren.

Suleiman said she saw a 14-year-old
girl, wearing a school uniform, fall dead after a collapsing wall hit her. A wall collapse in a downtown Cairo shop killed a worker. Five boys died in a stampede from a collapsing school in Shubra, a poorer Cairo district.
Abdel-Aziz said most schoolchildren were casualists of panic.
The security force's operations room in Cairo reported last night that 116 buildings were reported destroyed or badly damaged throughout Egypt.
Eight hours after the jolt, the Interior Ministry reported that the quake killed 370 and injured 3,369 in nine of Egypt's 26 provinces.

The quake spared Aswan High Dam, which holds back 310-mile-long Lake Nasser, the world's largest artificial lake. A breach would have sent water gushing straight down the Nile Valley to Cairo.
Egyptian Museum director Mohammed Saleh said only two large statues among more than 100,000 pieces on display were damaged.
Whether Cairo's wealth of Islamic and Coptic monuments was undermined by the earthquake was not immediately known.
The quake was felt as far away as Jerusalem, 250 miles northeast of Cairo.
