Amir condoles with Italian president over motorway bridge collapse deaths

Doha The Amir HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani on Tuesday sent a cable of condolences to Italian President Sergio Mattarella on the deaths of at least 30 people after a motorway bridge collapsed in Genoa, wishing the injured a speedy recovery. About 30 people were killed on Tuesday when a giant motorway bridge collapsed in heavy rain in the Italian city of Genoa. The collapse, which saw a vast stretch of the A10 freeway tumble on to railway lines in the northern port city, came as the bridge was undergoing maintenance work and as the Liguria region, where Genoa is situated, experienced torrential rainfall.
