TUNIS, March 21 (Xinhua) -- At least 95 people were injured when two trains collided on Monday morning in the south of Tunisia's capital Tunis, according to an official from the Civil Defense Department.

       In the collision that took place in the Jebel El Jloud area, just near the main station of Barcelona located in the heart of Tunis, a long-distance train hit another train running on the same rail track, said Samir Oueslati, acting regional director of Civil Protection in Tunis, private radio station Mosaique FM reported.

       Most of the injured were suffering from fractures and bruises, and there were no deaths, Civil Defense Spokesman Moez Triaa said, adding that only one of the trains was carrying passengers.
