Ahmed Fawzi, head of the Egyptian Social Democratic Party, held Transport Minister Kamel al-Wazir and Railway Authority chief Mohamed Amer politically responsible for the Al-Ayyat train collision, calling for those responsible for repeated train accidents to be held accountable. The crash left seven people dead and 125 injured. The prosecution ordered the detention pending investigation of the Al-Riqqa station signal controller and stationmaster after finding that they had failed to monitor the signal board and tampered with the signal logbook. Investigations also revealed that the train driver had disabled the automatic train control system. Fawzi criticized directing spending toward modern transport projects at the expense of the railways and roads. Meanwhile, the prosecutor general appointed a technical committee of Cairo University professors to examine the operating and safety systems and the development works.
