at least twenty four students and teachers have died in a fire at a religious school in Malaysia's capital, Kuala Lumpur.

The fire at the Tahfiz Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah broke out in the early hours of today.

 

The victims are thought to been trapped in their dormitory as the windows were barred with metal grilles.

 

The Malaysia Director of the fire and rescue department, KHIRUDIN DRAHMAN said it is one of the country's worst fire disasters in the past twenty years.

 

Initial counts put the death toll at twenty five but police later revised the number down by one.

 

Police said the dead were twenty students; all of whom were boys between the ages of thirteen and seventeen and two staff members.

 

Ten people were taken to hospital, and four are thought to have serious injuries.
