Bangladesh fire: 112 killed; Walmart, Disney clothes found in factory | Firstpost

Bangladesh fire: 112 killed; Walmart, Disney clothes found in factory | Firstpost: Dhaka: The garment factory in Bangladesh where 112 people were killed in a fire had been making clothes for Walmart, Disney, Sears and other major global retailers – some of whom say they thought they had stopped doing business with the place.
