2 in Hong Kong Immigration Fire Die

A mainland Chinese migrant and a Hong Kong immigration officer died of injuries suffered in a blaze set last week in a confrontation at Hong Kong’s immigration headquarters. They were among 50 people hurt when a group of migrants doused the immigration office with flammable liquid and torched it, setting off an explosion and fire as a bitter battle over residency rights in the Chinese territory took its most violent turn yet. The migrant, identified only by the surname Lam, 26, was seeking residency rights in Hong Kong, officials said. The immigration officer was identified as Leung Kam-kwong, 42. One other person is in critical condition.
