Seven Killed In Belgium Building Collapse

Seven bodies have been recovered from the rubble of an apartment block in the Belgian city of Liege which collapsed after a suspected gas explosion.

At least 21 people were injured in the blast, including two in a critical condition, officials have said. A 13-year-old girl was among those pulled alive from the rubble. The bodies were all found by rescue workers several hours after the building exploded at 2am local time on Wednesday (1am UK time).

Interior Ministry spokeswoman Margaux Donckier said it was unclear if any more people were buried under the twisted metal, wood and bricks from the 100-year-old building.
