At least 20 dead in India train fire

Police say at least 20 people have died after a train caught fire in southern India. Authorities have rushed at least four injured people to a hospital and are investigating the cause of the crash. Local police official says the train caught fire early Friday morning while it was roughly 200 kilometers north of Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh.
