 Tehran, Iran, Apr. 14 – Dozens of female university
students from the central city of Isfahan
were injured after their university dorm caught fire, the dean of Isfahan
University said.
The incident which did not claim any lives occurred Thursday night at about
22.00 after the schools electricity grid caught fire due to an overload.
None of the girls were burned, Mohammad-Hossein Ramasht told the state-run news agency Fars on Friday.
