Owner of Collapsed Bangladeshi Garment Factory Faces Murder Charge 
-------------------------------------------------------------------


 
An owner of the Bangladesh garment factory where hundreds of people died
last year is facing charges of murder. The collapse of the eight-story
Rana Plaza was one of the worst industrial disasters in history, killing
1,135 garment workers and injuring more than 2,500. Bangladeshi police
say they will charge Sohel Rana with murder as part of indictments that
include around 40 other people. The disaster's one-year anniversary is
next week.
