PARIS, Aug. 30 (Xinhuanet) -- Two people have died and two others are seriously injured after a fire broke out in an apartment building housing African immigrants in central Paris, a fire services spokesman said early Tuesday. Some ten others suffered light injuries.

    This latest fire started for yet unknown reasons at around 10:00 p.m. (2000 GMT) on Monday in a five-storey building in the Marais district of the French capital, just four days after a blaze killed 17 Africans in another Paris district.

     About 100 firefighters and 30 vehicles tackled the fire, which was brought under control at 11:30 p.m. (2130 GMT), said the spokesman.

The body of an adult was found early Tuesday and a child who had jumped from a fourth-floor window later died in hospital.

    On Friday, a fire hit an overcrowded apartment building in southeastern Paris, killing 14 children and three adults of the 133 occupants of Malian, Senegalese, Gambian and Ivorian origin. Enditem
