Deadly karaoke bar fire in China
In a warning to tourists visiting China, a Reuters says that a fire swept through a Chinese karaoke bar yesterday killing at least 11 people, the latest nightclub disaster to hit the country this year.
The pre-dawn fire broke out at a bar in Chengde county in Hebei province, 230 kilometres northeast of Beijing, Xinhua news agency said.
An investigation was under way, Xinhua said, but it gave no further details.
At least 12 revellers in the southern province of Jiangxi were killed in a blaze at a nightclub where they were celebrating the traditional Moon Festival in September.
In July, mining explosives illegally stored at a nightclub in the northeastern province of Liaoning detonated and killed at least 25 people, including teenage girls celebrating a birthday and passers-by on the street.
