Indonesia says welder's torch caused fireworks factory blaze
None
Police said Saturday that an inferno at a firework factory near Indonesia's capital that killed 48 people was started by sparks from a welder's torch.
The welder, Subarna Ega, is believed to have accidentally caused Thursday's fire in Tangerang, a satellite city of Jakarta, said police spokesman Argo Yuwono. Police are looking for Ega, while two other suspects -- the factory's owner and its operational director—are in custody.
Yuwono said at a news conference Saturday that the sparks from Ega's welding struck the fireworks and triggered the flames.
