Fire at ArcelorMittal Kazakh mine kills at least 21

KARAGANDA: A fire at a mine in Kazakhstan owed by steel giant ArcelorMittal killed 21 people Saturday, with over 20 miners still underground and the Central Asian nation working to take over the company's local branch.ArcelorMittal -- listed in Luxembourg -- has a history of deadly disasters in Kazakhstan and is regularly accused of failing to respect safety and environmental regulations.The fire was Kazakhstan's worst mining accident since 2006, when 41 miners died at an ArcelorMittal site, and came two months after five miners were killed in a blast this summer.The fire took place at the Kostyenko mine north of the city of Karaganda.“The bodies of 21 miners have been found,“ ArcelorMital said in a statement.“There are still 23 miners inside the mine,“ it said.The company said 252 miners have been brought out from underground and that rescue operations were ongoing.Ambulances and police entered the territory of the mine on Saturday, an AFP reporter saw.President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev
