Bangladesh fire death toll over 100, set to rise

DHAKA (Reuters) - More than 100 people were killed in a fire that razed a crowded Dhaka neighbourhood overnight, and the toll is expected to rise as rescue workers search for more bodies in the smouldering debris, TV channels reported on Friday.

"It seemed like hell broke loose," said a wailing woman, looking for her daughter and son in what remained of the centuries-old Kayettuli neighbourhood, one of the most densely populated in Dhaka and in the heart of the Bangladeshi capital.
