More than 112 dead and scores injured after fire rips through clothing factory in Bangladesh

A fire swept through a garment factory on the outskirts of Bangladesh's capital on Saturday night, killing at least 112 people and injuring even more. The fire at the seven-story factory in the Ashulia industrial belt started on the ground floor and quickly spread, according to authorities and witnesses. Firefighters took nearly five hours to extinguish the blaze. Most of the victims died as they jumped from the building to escape the flames, a police official said.
