A fire in the Soma Hotel in Suleimaniya, northern Iraq, has killed at least 29 people and left many wounded. Four Americans were among the dead, according to bbc.co.uk. Also reportedly killed in the fire were citizens of Sri Lanka, Cambodia and the Philippines, and at least one Canadian. They worked as engineers. Suleimaniya is in northern Iraq's Kurdish autonomous area. City authorities said it was likely that the fire was started by an electrical fault, with no evidence that it was a result of a terror attack.
