Los Angeles police are expected to release details on arrests made in a 1993 fire that swept through a Westlake apartment building crowded with Latino immigrants, killing 10 people, including seven children. The arrests capped years of investigations into what is considered one of the worst arson fires in L.A. history. Police announced the arrests Saturday but have not released the names of the suspects or said how they linked them to the fire. The seven children who died ranged in age from 15 months to 11 years. The building had recently been cited for fire code violations, but the owner failed to make the required changes.
