Eight children die in NYC inferno

The fire started in the basement or the ground floor

Eight children and an adult have been killed in a fire which devastated a three-storey building in the New York City borough of the Bronx.

Witnesses said one mother threw her children out of windows to save them after the fire began late on Wednesday. Officials believe about 22 people from an extended family of immigrants from Mali lived in the brick building. Up to 19 people were injured in what is said to be one of the city's worst fires in recent times. Some of the injured are in a critical condition, and there are fears that the death toll could rise further. 'Great tragedy' The fire started shortly after 2300 local time (0400 GMT Thursday), witnesses and officials said.
