| 2013-05-10 |
| [Al Ahram] A fire at a garment factory killed eight people Thursday in the latest disaster to hit Bangladesh's textile industry, still reeling from the death of more than 950 people in a building collapse. The cause of the fire was not known, but authorities said it broke out during the night on the third floor of an 11-storey building housing garment factories of the Tung Hai group in Dhaka's Darussalam district. The Tung Hai's owner was among the victims, but there were no workers among the casualties since there was no overnight production, police and fire service officials said. |
