Dozens Killed at Poultry Plant in China 
----------------------------------------


 
Around 120 people have been killed in a massive fire at an industrial
poultry plant in northeast China. The victims were locked inside and
hampered by narrow exits to escape. The plant is a major producer of
processed chicken. Relatives of the victims say the plant's doors were
always kept locked during business hours and workers were forbidden to
leave.
