Dhaka Bangladesh clothes factory fire kills more than 100 (CNN)

More than 100 people are now known to have died in a fire that swept through a clothes factory in Bangladesh, local officials say.

The blaze broke out late on Saturday in the multi-floor Tazreen Fashion factory in the Ashulia district on the outskirts of the capital Dhaka.

Some people died after jumping from the building to escape the flames.

It is unclear what caused the fire, which started on the ground floor trapping many victims in the factory.

Officials suspect an electrical short circuit might have caused the disaster.

孟加拉達卡郊區一間成衣廠24日晚間發生大火，目前確定109人死亡，約100人受傷。

大部分遇難者遺體是在二樓被發現，另有九人是從不同樓層跳樓逃生而喪命。

警方表示，起火原因有可能是電線走火
