                  7 Killed in Bangladesh Garment Factory Fire

   Officials in Bangladesh say at least seven people died in a fire in a
   garment factory in the capital late Wednesday.
   The fire erupted in the Tung Hai Sweater Factory in Dhaka`s Mirpur
   district after most workers had gone home.
   Authorities say police and garment factory officials were holding a
   meeting in the 11-story building when the fire broke out.
   Earlier Wednesday, the Bangladesh government said it had shut down 18
   garment factories for safety reasons following the April 24 collapse of
   a building housing five garment factories. The death toll from that
   incident has risen to more than 800.
   Bangladesh`s $20-billion textile industry accounts for nearly 80
   percent of the country`s exports.
