ISTANBUL (AP) - A fire engulfed a tent used as a dormitory for workers at an Istanbul construction site late on Sunday, killing 14 people, a local official said. The workers were staying in a giant tent at the construction site of a supermarket, said Necmi Kadioglu, the mayor
of Istanbul's Esenyurt district.'We suspect that the fire might haveoriginated from an electrical heater,' Mr Kadioglu said, noting the cold weather in Istanbul. Turkey's state-run television reported the fire might have been sparked by a short circuit. Firefighters,working under floodlights despite the snow, managed to recover the bodies of
the workers from the mangled ruins of the tent.
