Fire kills two at Moscow university

MOSCOW, Apr 21 (Reuters) Two students died today in a fire at Moscow State University, one of the Russian capital's most imposing landmarks.

The Emergencies Ministry said four others were injured in the blaze, which broke out in the early hours of the morning at the building, one of the Stalin-era skyscrapers that loom over Moscow.

The fire was on the 12th floor and forced 650 people to be evacuated. It is not yet clear how the fire started, the ministry spokesman said.
