Two Saudi babies were charred to death after their house in the Gulf Kingdom caught fire while their parents left them on their own and went for a wedding.

Civil Defence men who put out the blaze said they found the charred bodies of the two girls, aged 2 years and 8 months, inside, as their parents were out.

'Sabq' Arabic language newspaper quoted a Civil Defence spokesman as saying that the fire could have been started by a short circuit in the cooling system in the house in the Southern Najran province.
