The UK-France Channel Tunnel partly reopened and traffic was resuming progressively, the tunnel operator said, after firefighters extinguished a blaze on a cargo train that closed it late last week.   Working through the night Thursday, firefighters had worked toward each other from separate ends in France and Britain to combat the blaze, which broke out Thursday afternoon aboard one of the trains that run through the 30-mile tunnel, transporting trucks and holidaymakers' cars. No-one was killed in the fire, but 14 people were injured.   Aircargo Asia Pacific
