Supermarket inferno survivors say doors were locked

Survivors of an inferno in a crowded supermarket said locked doors kept them from escaping the fast-spreading fire that killed at least 296 people in Paraguay’s worst disaster in more than half a century.

Hundreds more were injured, many with serious burns, after the blaze swept through the multilevel Ycua Bolanos supermarket on the outskirts of the capital, Asuncion, while it was crowded with Sunday shoppers.
