Hotel fire kills 30 in Iraq's Kurdish north.
A hotel in the northern Iraqi city of Sulaimaniya burned to the ground overnight, killing at least 29 people, including 4 Americans, according to a government official in Erbil, the provincial capital.
Another 20 people were injured, and the death toll could climb higher. The five-story hotel, the Soma, caught fire because of an electrical short, the government official said.
Sulaimaniya is 160 miles north of Baghdad, in the semiautonomous Kurdish region of Iraq, and some of the victims may have worked for foreign oil companies, The Associated Press reported. At least four children were among the dead, according to The A.P.
