Some informative links on the Villaggio Mall fire

 These links should provide more information on the fire and how it transpired. It also gives a good idea of how the media went about their reporting.

The Wikipedia entry

Full list of victims from Doha News
This probably requires its own post, perhaps at a later time to commemorate them.

The reporting from the Daily Mail
Does a good job of bullet point the issues and the incident. Good collection of photographs (very intense).

Conspiracy Theory involving Syria
Experts point out that there was questions as to the authenticity of the documents provided.

The questions behind the certification and validity of the nursery.
Reporting by the New Zealand Herald.

Gulf News take on the fire the day of the incident
Includes the ministry request for people to stop spreading rumors.

Reporting of the committee setup

ASF with the firefighters story to save the children
This is truly heart breaking read, tells the account of children in the arms of dead firemen.

The beginning of the arrests

Details on the cause of the fire and the faulty wiring

I wonder what Mr. Abdul Aziz Mohammed Al-Rabban thinks about all this. Not sure the man has made a statement at all.

I will post more links later on perhaps, these ae a great source of information and help bring light to the victims and their families.
