Two people were found dead in the rubble of the four-story shopping plaza and another died after reaching the hospital, the official said. At least six rescue workers were still feared trapped by the debris, said the head of a state-run rescue service. He added the rescue workers that were inside the building were trying to put out the fire when it collapsed. One eyewitness said he saw at least half a dozen people emerge from under the rubble.
