The number of people still trapped under the rubble remains unclear.


Tehran: Iranian authorities announced Thursday that 18 people were killed in the collapse of a building under construction in southwestern Iran, in a new toll after four days of the tragedy.
On Monday, a large part of the 10-storey "Metropol" building under construction collapsed in Abadan, one of the main cities in Iran's Khuzestan province. The building is located in the middle of one of the busiest streets in the city of 230,000 people.
The number of people still trapped under the rubble remains unclear.
The cause of the collapse, which occurred during a sandstorm, is yet to be ascertained.
Police, however, arrested the owner of the building and the project manager of the construction company that built it.
