None

A fire raced through a sweater factory near the Bangladeshi capital early Friday, killing at least 13 people and injuring dozens more, officials and television reports said.

 

Fire fighter official Abdur Rashid told The Associated Press by phone from the scene that rescuers recovered dozens of victims from the six-story building, which was engulfed in flames. Twenty-two of them were either "critically injured" or dead, he said. (AP)
