DEADLY MARKET FIRE

-

A huge fire engulfed the Somali capital’s main market, killing at least two people, a police officer said. The overnight inferno started at the gold bazaar and winds spread it rapidly through the market, razing large buildings, shops and food stores, said Capt. Mohamed Hussein. Firefighte­rs put out the blaze, which had sent hundreds of people fleeing. The cause of the fire was unclear, but traders blamed an electrical fault.
