An investigation of the Bangladeshi factory fire that killed over 100 workers last month found that the fire was sabotage. The investigators also found that factory supervisors prevented workers from leaving the building during the fire. The factory had lost its fire certification in June, but continued to operate. The owner had only had permission for three floors but was in the process of building a ninth. Workers made clothing for companies like Wal-Mart and C&A.
