BAKU, August 29 (RIA Novosti) - The bodies of seven workers have been pulled from the rubble of a multi-story building under construction that collapsed on Tuesday in Azerbaijan's capital, Baku.
Nine of the construction workers have been rescued, the country's emergency situations ministry said Wednesday.
