Kenya train crashes into homes in Nairobi's Kibera slum

At least 10 people have been injured when a freight train crashed into homes in the Nairobi slum of Kibera.



The train derailed while passing through one of Africa's largest slums on its way to Uganda.



Rescuers cleared space in the crowded settlement to bring in cranes to lift rolling stock and reach anyone who may have been trapped.



There had initially been fears that scores were trapped in their homes, but many residents were out at the time.



Local people suggested that they had left for church or gone back to their villages for Christmas.
