The deaths from a fire in a mall in Pakistan's Karachi have risen to at least 50 as firefighters recovered more bodies from the debris of the charred building. "We have found 20 to 25 dead bodies, or you call them remains," Deputy Commissioner Javed Nabi Khoso told the media on Wednesday. The Gul Plaza mall in Karachi the country's biggest city caught fire late on Saturday. The blaze raged on for more than 24 hours before it could be doused.

The bar's two managers are suspected of offences including homicide by negligence, causing bodily harm by negligence and arson by negligence, prosecutors in Valais, the canton that is home to the bar in the upscale ski resort of Crans-Montana, said in a statement on Saturday.

Swiss investigators are probing what caused a fire in a bar at an Alpine ski resort that left dozens of people presumed dead and another 100 injured during a New Year's celebration. Most injuries, many of them serious, occurred when the blaze swept through the crowded bar less than two hours after midnight Thursday in southwestern Switzerland. The Crans-Montana resort is best known as an international ski and golf venue.
