This news from the Netherlands. A fire in a detention center for suspected drug smugglers and undocumented immigrants at Amsterdam’s airport has killed at least 11 people. It took the fire squads three hours to bring the fire under control at the detention center that holds some 350 prisoners. One detainee told a Dutch radio station that the fire broke out in one of the cells and that when the prisoners cried out in alarm, they were not taken seriously.
