Fire Service officials in Greece say a fire in a clothing store in
Athens has killed six people.
The victims have not been identified but are believed to all be Chinese nationals. They were trapped inside the building after the fire broke out early Tuesday in the western Aegaleo area of the Greek capital, according to the Fire Service.
Seven fire trucks and 21 firefighters were involved in the effort to put out the blaze that took more than two hours.
