Fire guts former Saudi Arabia's embassy building

Fire crews remained on Aylmer Road for much of Saturday morning as flames and heavy smoke could be seen emerging from the building.
Firefighters on scene told CBC that the building had been completely destroyed by the blaze.
Gatineau police said they are treating the fire as suspicious due to evidence of a break-and-enter.
No injuries have been reported.
Worth at least $1.5 million
According to the city of Gatineau's assessment roll, the two-story house was built in 1930 and is still the property of the Embassy of Saudi Arabia.
It is believed to be worth at least $1.5 million, according to municipal documents.
Aylmer Road was closed to traffic Saturday morning between Victor Beaudry and Golfe streets.
