            Chinese firefighters and investigators check the burnt out 'Dance King' nightclub in the city of Shenzhen.

			A fire that broke out late Saturday inside a nightclub near the Hong Kong border caused a stampede of panicked partygoers trying to escape killing at least 43 people, and leaving more than 88 injured. What caused the inferno is said to be fireworks which were a part of a show featured inside the nightclub. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.welt.de/english-news/article2473546/Nightclub-fire-in-China-kills-43-injures-88.html"><P>The fire, which broke out late Saturday, also injured at least 88 people, an
