A Christmas Day fire that ripped through a Romanian tourist farm in Tohani, 90 kilometers north of Bucharest, has killed seven people, including two children, authorities said December 27, adding that another person was still missing. There was no immediate indication as to what caused the blaze at the Ferma Dacilor tourist farm. Authorities say the wooden building did not have a fire inspection permit. Romanian media reported that the owner had ties with organized crime. In August, two blasts at a liquefied petroleum gas station in Crevedia, 30 kilometers north of Bucharest, killed two and injured 56.
