Islamic school fire kills 13 children in Myanmar
None
A fire at an Islamic school in Yangon killed 13 children in the early hours of Tuesday in what officials said could have been an accident, but comes in the aftermath of a wave of violence against Muslims in Buddhist-majority Myanmar.
The children, all boys, suffocated after the fire broke out in a dormitory of the school next to a mosque in the central, multi-ethnic Botataung district of the former capital at about 2:40 am (2010 GMT on Monday), neighbours and officials said. (Reuters)
