100 die in wedding party inferno
A newly-wed couple were among at least 100 people killed when their Christian wedding party venue caught fire on Tuesday night in the northern Iraqi town of Hamdaniyah. Health authorities in Nineveh province, where the town is located, said more than 150 attendees to the wedding were also badly injured when flames quickly engulfed the reception hall after fireworks were launched as the bride and groom were slow-dancing. Victims were being taken by ambulances to the main hospital in Hamdaniyah, a predominantly Christian town east of Mosul. “The majority of the injured suffer from burns and asphyxiation,” health ministry spokesperson Saif Al-Badr said, adding that there had also been crowd crushes at the scene. In a statement, civil defense authorities blamed the fire to “highly flammable” and low-cost ceiling panels that also released toxic gases while burning. The prefabricated panels inside the wedding party hall also contravened safety standards, according to the statement. Wedding attendee Rania Waad, who sustained a burn to her hand, said that as the bride and groom “were slow dancing, the fireworks started to climb to the ceiling, the whole hall went up in flames.” “We couldn’t see anything,” the 17-year-old said, choking back sobs. “We were suffocating, we didn’t know how to get out.” The ministry of health announced that “medical aid trucks” had been dispatched to the area from Baghdad and other provinces, adding that its teams in Nineveh had been mobilized to care for the injured.

Protesters burn mayor’s office over mining
Anti-mining protesters have set fire to a mayor’s office on an Indonesian island and damaged the local parliament building, according to police. Some 2,500 protesters demanding compensation from a gold mining company marched Thursday to the local mayor’s office in Pohuwato regency in Gorontalo province, Sulawesi Island. When no official met them, they set it on fire, local media reported. The protesters then headed to the local parliament to stage another demonstration, and damaged it, according to reports. The demonstrations are now under investigation, Gorantalo police spokesperson Desmont Harjendro said. “Several protesters” were detained and that police were guarding the sites, he added. Harjendro warned other protesters they would be arrested if they engaged in violent attacks or damaged public property. Activists are demanding compensation from PT Puncak Emas Tani Sejahtera, a subsidiary of PT Merdeka Copper Gold which oversees the Pani Gold Project mine in the area. Boyke Poerbaya Abidin, president director of Merdeka Copper Gold and PT Puncak Emas Tani Sejahtera, criticized the demonstrators. “We deeply regret the incident and we condemn the violent acts by the irresponsible protesters that has caused damages,” Abidin said in a statement Thursday. He said the mining project was operating on a government-approved license. WITH AFP The post Protesters burn mayor’s office over mining appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
