Dozens killed, 100 injured in ski resort bar fire in Swiss Alps during New Year’s celebrations

Dozens of New Year's revelers were killed and approximately 100 injured early Thursday morning when a fire raged through a bar in a popular ski resort in the Swiss Alps.

Authorities in Switzerland said they did not suspect terrorism but the cause of the fire at the  Le Constellation bar at the Crans-Montana resort was still being investigated.

"Several tens of people” were killed at the bar but "it is premature to give you a more precise figure,” Valais Canton police commander Frédéric Gisler told a news conference. 

Beatrice Pilloud, Valais Canton attorney general, said it was too early to determine the cause of the fire but a terror attack was not suspected.

“At no moment is there a question of any kind of attack,” Pilloud said, according to The Associated Press.
