Qatar s Interior Ministry said 13 children were among 19 people killed in a fire that broke out in one of the country s fanciest shopping malls late Monday morning, raising questions about building safety in the booming Gulf state.

At least some of the victims died as rescuers struggled to reach a child care center at the Villaggio mall in the capital Doha, according to Qatar s Minister of State for Interior Affairs, Sheik Abdullah bin Nasser Al Thani.

Four of the children killed were Spanish citizens living in the small Arab emirate, the Spanish Foreign Ministry said. It did not identify the children, citing Spanish privacy regulations.

Also, a 3-year-old French child was among the victims, the deputy minister for overseas French citizens, Yamina Benguigui, said in a statement.

Young New Zealand triplets were also believed to be among the victims, said New Zealand s Prime Minister John Key, though he could not yet confirm the deaths.

Four teachers and two civil defense officials were among the dead, the Qatari ministry said on its official Twitter page.
Another 17 people were injured, including four children, according to authorities. Most of those hurt were rescuers responding to the blaze.

Witnesses earlier reported thick black smoke pouring from the ritzy mall around midday. Amateur photos and videos posted online showed firefighters rescuing victims by climbing on the roof. The Interior Ministry said the fire was extinguished hours later. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Thick smoke and heat hindered rescue efforts, as did a lack of floor plans and malfunctioning sprinkler systems, the ministry said on Twitter.

Sheik Abdullah said all buildings in the country abide by safety requirements, but a special committee will nonetheless be set up to monitor building safety standards.

The Villaggio opened in 2006 and is one of Qatar s most popular shopping and amusement destinations. Retailers include many well-known Western brands, such as Foot Locker, Pizza Hut, Starbucks and British department store Marks & Spencer, according to the mall s website.

Malls throughout the oil-rich Arab Gulf are popular with families looking for entertainment destinations that provide relief from soaring summer temperatures. The Villaggio includes an ice skating rink, theme park, movie theater and indoor Venice-style gondola rides.

New construction projects such as the Villaggio have transformed the face of once-sleepy Doha in recent years, as the country benefits from a hydrocarbon boom. The OPEC member state is the world s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas.

Qatar won the right to host soccer s 2022 World Cup a year and a half ago.

Gen. Martin Dempsey, President Obama’s top military adviser, said Monday that Senate lawmakers made the right call by voting to trim aid to Pakistan.

“I think choices should result in consequences. And I think the Senate acted appropriately,” said Dempsey, who is chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, speaking on a US News channel.

The Senate Appropriations Committee voted last week to cut $33 million for Pakistan, or $1 million for each year of a prison sentence given to Shakil Afridi, a doctor who helped the CIA locate al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

It s a small fraction of US aid to the country but nonetheless highlights tensions in the relationship.

In addition to that cut, the Senate Armed Service Committee voted to fence in $250 million in military aid until Pakistan reopens supply routes to Afghanistan to NATO traffic, ceases its support for militants and stops detaining citizens — a veiled reference to the sentencing of Afridi.

Dempsey, in the interview, was not asked about specific spending cuts, but instead was questioned broadly about the decision to "withdraw some funding" from Pakistan.

Asked if the US relationship with Pakistan has ever been worse, Dempsey replied: "not in my experience." But he also cautioned that there was a need for the two nations to repair relations, noting the strategic importance of Pakistan.

“Pakistan is an important country in the region and globally. And so we need to work through the relationship,” he said, according to a transcript.

The Senate appropriators’ plan would provide $800 million for Pakistan next fiscal year, which is far below what the Obama administration is seeking.
 

Tropical Storm Beryl cut a soggy path across the US southeast on Monday after swirling ashore in Florida.

The second named storm of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season lashed the East Coast from north Florida to southern parts of North Carolina, and created a risk of flooding inland, even after it was downgraded to a tropical depression late Monday morning.

Strong winds downed trees and power lines in Jacksonville, Florida. It also forced many people to cancel their Memorial day holiday plans.

Beryl s top sustained winds had dropped to 30 miles per hour (48 kph) and its center was 150 miles (241 km) southwest of Savannah, Georgia.

Little change in strength was expected over the next 48 hours. But the storm, targeting parts of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, was forecast to dump as much as 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm) of rain, in some areas, the hurricane center said.

It said some locations could be hit with as much as 12 inches of rain (30 cm) as the storm moved north-northwest at 5 miles per hour (8 kph).

Beryl peaked near hurricane strength as it made landfall shortly after midnight near Jacksonville Beach, Florida, packing winds of 70 mph (113 kph). That was just shy of the 74 mph (119 kph) threshold that would have made it a Category 1 hurricane on the five-step Saffir-Simpson intensity scale.

Computer forecast models show Beryl moving on an eventual path back out over the Atlantic.

Fortunately, no storm-related deaths or serious injuries had been confirmed by late Monday afternoon.

The Atlantic hurricane season officially starts on June 1.
