Angolan Prime minister Fernando da Piedade Dias do Santos Tuesday here expressed deep regret over the death of several people following the collapse, last Saturday at dawn, of the National Criminal Investigation Department (DNIC) headquarters.

"I express my solidarity with the mourning families and for this reason I address, on my behalf, of my family and of workers of my office, the most heart felt condolences and extend sincere solidarity", writes the Angolan Premier in a message delivered Tuesday to ANGOP.

Fernando da Piedade Dias dos Santos also encouraged the Interior Ministry following the sad tragedy.

The death toll of the seven-storey building of DNIC raised from 21 to 30 late Monday.
