The minister told talking heads that Shousha had submitted his resignation last Thursday, before the accident, but that he signed it on Sunday. The announcement came after prosecutors ordered the <strong>detention of the train drivers and other staff involved<\/strong> in the fatal collision near Alexandria over the weekend that claimed more than 40 lives.
