(AFP photo)ROUEN, FRANCE - At least 13 people were killed and six injured in an accidental fire early Saturday during a birthday party at a bar in the northern French city of Rouen, officials said. Firefighters leave after inspecting the damaged Au Cuba Libre bar in Rouen, northern France, after a fire broke out overnight in the bar during a birthday party. "There wasn't an explosion, it was candles used for a birthday party," a senior police official told AFP. The blaze in Rouen was France's deadliest since September 2005 when an apartment building fire in the Paris suburb of L'Hay-les-Roses killed 18 people. One of the injured was in a critical condition, the secretary general of the Seine-Maritime prefecture Yvan Cordier told AFP.
