 Image: Reuters Fatal fire at wedding in Iraq At least 100 people have died and 150 others injured after a fire broke out at a wedding in Iraq. Hundreds of people were at the celebration in the country’s northern Nineveh province when the fire tore through the venue on Tuesday night. The fate of the bride and groom is still not clear. It is not yet known what caused the blaze, but early reports say fireworks were lit during the party. One survivor said as the newlyweds were slow dancing, "fireworks started to climb to the ceiling, the whole hall went up in flames". The venue is said to have been built with highly-flammable materials and photos show what remains of the hall. | | | | | | | | | |
