Three more bodies were found Friday in the tunnel of iron mines in
Shahe, north China's Hebei Province, raising the number of dead to 68.
119 miners remain missing, said an official with the investigation
group.
Zhang Fumin said that the investigation group, sent by the State
Council, started an all-round investigation Thursday.
Preliminary investigation shows that the "November 20" fire broke out
due to an electronic cable self-igniting in one iron mine. The fire soon
spread to other four mines. Nine people closely related to the disaster
were detained by police.
