PARIS (CNN) -- A fire forced the evacuation of hundreds of visitors from Eurodisney in France.
A hotel at the entertainment complex caught fire Saturday, and guests were immediately evacuated as firefighters battled for three hours to bring the blaze under control.
Damage to the Sequoia Lodge was extensive. The cause of the fire is so far undetermined.
Italian police bust child smuggling ring
ROME (CNN) -- Italian police have arrested eight people suspected of secretly importing and selling Somali children. State-owned RAI television said seven Somalis and one Italian were accused of selling the children, ages 6 to 12, for prices ranging from $18,000 to $30,000 each.
They were bought in Somali villages and smuggled to Italy in car trunks. The ring reportedly marketed the children through catalogues filled with photographs.
The news agency ANSA quoted an unnamed investigator as saying the "most optimistic hypothesis is that they were sold clandestinely for adoption. But that is being checked."
