Rescue workers search for victims among the wreckage of a girls' school dormitory in Konya August 1, 2008. The three-storey girl's dormitory collapsed early Friday, killing at least 13 students and trapping others, as voices can be heard under the debris. A large gas canister explosion was the likely cause of the collapse of the dormitory owned by an Islamic foundation, where some 40 students were attending Quran courses. [Agebcies] |
