This is certainly bad news:

YEOSU, South Korea, Feb. 11 (Yonhap) — At least nine foreigners were killed and 18 others injured in a pre-dawn fire that engulfed an immigration detention center in southern South Korea on Sunday, police said.

The article states that a short circuit from a television set on the third floor of the detention center was thought to be the cause of the fire, but police believe the fire may have been a result of arson:

Police are also looking at the possibility of arson, as closed circuit television (CCTV) footage shows a foreign detainee covering a CCTV camera on the floor with wet toilet paper just before the fire broke out.

“The detainee was stopped by center officials from putting wet toilet paper on a CCTV camera several times the previous day,” said Kim Jang-whan, head of the police station in Yeosu. “He covered a CCTV camera about five to eight minutes before the fire occurred.”

Someone’s head is going to roll.
