Abdur Razzak Khan last week warned of cracks in the building a day before it collapsed. Police say they arrested him because of his role in the original construction of the building. This brings to nine the number of people arrested since the factory collapsed April 24. Among the detainees were the owner of the building, the owners of several factories housed inside, and engineers responsible for its construction.

Police said Friday the death toll has risen to 501, as new bodies were discovered in the ruins overnight.

On Thursday, the nation's textile industry reopened, a week after a work shutdown prompted by the building collapse near Dhaka.

The mayor of Savar, the site of the collapse, was suspended from office Thursday as garment workers returned to their jobs. Local officials say charges will be brought against Mohammad Refat Ullah in connection with the country's largest industrial disaster.

Meanwhile, rescue workers are continuing to use heavy equipment to clear the site. Officials expect the number of victims to rise as 150 people remain unaccounted for. More than 3,000 people were in the building when it collapsed.孟加拉國警方逮捕了曾經警告一棟8層樓廠房出現裂痕的工程師。 上個星期(4月24日)大樓坍塌造成的死亡人數已經上升到500多人。

阿卜杜爾•拉扎克•汗上個星期在大樓坍塌的前一天警告說,大樓出現裂痕。警方說,他們逮捕這名工程師,是因爲他參與了這座大樓原來的施工。自從4月24日大樓坍塌以來警方已經逮捕了總共9名與坍塌有關的涉案人員。被逮捕的其中包括樓房的主人,幾家製衣廠的老闆以及負責大樓施工的工程師。

警方星期五說,死亡人數已經上升到501人。在此之前,救援人員昨天晚上從廢墟中又找到更多的屍體。

由於在達卡附近外這棟大樓坍塌,而被停工一個星期後的孟加拉國紡織業星期四又重新開工。

在製衣廠工人返回工作的同時,大樓坍塌的這個薩瓦市的市長星期四被停職。當地官員說,穆罕默德.裏法特.烏拉因涉案孟加拉國最大的工業災難將受到起訴。

與此同時,救援人員繼續使用重型設備清理坍塌現場。官員預計,由於仍有150人下落不明,死亡人數還會上升。這座製衣廠大樓坍塌時,當時裏邊有3000多人。
