Shura Council to Form Fact-Finding Committee to Investigate Fire Incident; Council Guards and Engineering Dept. Exchange Accusations

(Almasry alyoum)

The chief prosecutor heard the statements of the Shura Council guards, members of the engineering committees and council employees. The guards and the engineering dept. exchanged accusations. The guards said engineering did not provide the necessary equipment, especially alarm systems, to secure the building. On the other hand, engineering said the guards helped aggravate the crisis, as none of them tried to put out the fire once it started. The prosecution ordered to speed up the reports of the technical committees to reveal the cause of fire.
