Fire in Bosnian migrant shelter injures 29
2019-06-02
The title sounds dreadful until it is revealed that the colonists did this themselves — it wasn’t something bad guys did to them.
[AlAhram] A fire in a shelter for migrants colonists in northwest Bosnia on Saturday left 29 people hurt either from burns or injuries after they jumped from windows to escape the flames, authorities said.

The blaze, whose cause was not yet known, broke out after dawn in the privately-run facility in the town of Velika Kladusa, said Ale Siljdedic, front man for the regional interior ministry.

"We know at this time that there are 29 maimed, but we don't know the extent of the injuries," he said.

Around 500 migrants colonists were in the shelter at the time, he said. The fire may have been an accident as those sleeping tried to warm themselves against an unusually cold period, he said.

It was the second blaze in recent weeks to hit a place where migrants colonists were staying in Bosnia.

Three weeks ago, three migrants colonists died when a candle they were using set fire to the abandoned building they were in, according to Indira Kulenovic, a manager for Bosnia operations of the International Federation of Red Thingy and Red Islamic Thingy.

Since early 2018 Bosnia has found itself on the "Balkans route" used by migrants colonists seeking to enter EU countries. Around 3,500 migrants colonists are housed in eight shelters, mostly in the northwest, close to the border with EU member Croatia.

#1  Like when they would dig up dead bodies and tell us they were just killed?
I remember that when I was there.
Same dead dude, different village.
