LEICESTER: British police searched for survivors on Monday in the rubble of a shop and apartment destroyed by an explosion that killed at least four people in the city of Leicester on Sunday evening. CCTV footage posted on the local newspaper’s website showed the entire front of the building shooting into the road as a car passed. The Leicester Mercury said the shop was a Polish convenience store called Zabka Leicester and above it was a two-storey apartment. Investigators were working to determine the cause and specialist rescue teams with search dogs were looking for survivors and further casualties. “There are four confirmed fatalities at this stage and a number of people still undergoing treatment in hospital,” Leicestershire Police Superintendent Shane O’Neill said.
