Hong Kong Leader Orders Probe Into Fire That Killed 151

Hong Kong’s Chief Executive John Lee says committee will be led by a judge and will identify the cause of deadliest blaze in decades.

Hong Kong’s leader said an independent committee will be established to investigate the cause of the city’s deadliest fire in decades, which killed at least 151 people and left almost 80 injured.

John Lee, the chief executive of the Chinese-administered region, pledged on Tuesday to overcome vested interests and pursue accountability for the fire, which ripped through seven tower blocks in the Wang Fuk Court housing complex where more than 4,600 people lived in the city’s Tai Po district.
