Migrant jumps to death from Paris shelter after arson attack

PARIS: A man jumped to his death from the third floor of a shelter for migrant workers in a Paris suburb, following an apparent arson attack that left several injured, police said Friday.

The fire caused panic at the six-storey building in the wealthy western suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt, prompting two people to jump out of a window, Eric Moulin, a spokesman for the fire service, said.
