Dutch authorities have confirmed that 11 migrants have died in a fire at a migrant detention / internment camp at Shiphol airport. Now before we are sued for getting it wrong, the detention centre is used for holding both illegal migrants (WHO ARE NOT CRIMINALS as they are not thereafter convicted of a crime) and drug smugglers who are criminals. |

Police are said to have arrested 3 escaped detainess and to still looking for more. Indded police are said to be "uncertain" how many are still on the run.
["Problems trying to evacuate the detainees arose because cells had to be opened manually. Suffocating detainees kicked and screamed to be let out."]

The Dutch goverment and various local authorities have ordered an inquiry into the fire which killed 11 inmates and injured 15 at a detention centre at Amsterdam's airport, where both criminals and illegal migrants are held.
It was the second fire at the jail complex since it opened in 2002.
Haarlemmermeer Council has said an independent investigation will be conducted into the emergency response effort. 10 to 12 cells were reported to be burnt.
