SULAIMANIYA, Iraq, July 16 (Reuters) - The official death toll in a hotel fire in the northern Iraqi city of Sulaimaniya is 29, not 40, the city's police chief said on Friday.
"The official final death toll is 29 killed and 22 wounded," Brigadier Najim-Eldeen Qader said. "Last night there was chaos at the hospital because of the large numbers of casualties. This could explain the mistake that happened in the death toll."
