WebPosted Fri Mar 24 08:07:35 2006
---A large explosion at a chemistry school in eastern France has killed
one person and injured another, news services reported.
Fire officials told the Associated Press that the blast, which ignited a
fire, occurred on Friday in the city of Mulhouse, near the border with
Germany, on the ground floor of the Superior National School of
Chemistry.
Police said they have evacuated the area surrounding the school, which
is part of a campus near the city centre and 8,000 students are
enrolled there.
Teachers were counting students at the scene to ensure there were no
other casualties, according to France-Info radio.
According to a report by TF1 television, a witness said it felt like an
earthquake.
