Amsterdam - Dutch judicial authorities issued an arrest warrant yesterday for the owner of the fireworks factory in the town of Enschede that exploded with devastating effect at the weekend.
A national and international warrant was issued for the owners of S. E. Fireworks, R. Bakker and W. Pater, on suspicion of breaking the rules for fireworks storage set out in their environmental permit.
"We are still looking for them, we don't know where they are," a spokesman told Dutch television.
