| ISLAMABAD: A fire broke out in the US chancery building in Islamabad on Sunday but there were no immediate reports of any casualties, a US embassy spokesman said, ruling out any terrorism in the incident. "There was a small fire in the main chancery building," embassy spokesman Richard Snelsire said. "It has now been extinguished. We don't have any reason to believe it was terrorist related," he said. "We have no report of any injuries or any casualties," he told AFP. There was a small fire on the first floor of the chancery, which is the main embassy building, he said. The extent of damage was not immediately clear and the spokesman said an assessment was underway. |
