Pope Francis calls for prayer for Bangladesh victims

“Join me in praying for the victims of the tragedy in Dhaka, Bangladesh, that God will grant comfort and strength to their families,” said Pope Francis, in a tweet sent out this morning.

More than 340 people died when a building collapsed on Wednesday, and authorities are still working to pull survivors from the rubble. As many as 900 people could still be missing.

Two factory bosses and two engineers were arrested in Bangladesh on Saturday in connection with the disaster. The owner of the building is on the run, despite calls to turn himself in.
