Re: Tanker Explosion - Lebanon

This being a cruising forum and all, it should be mentioned that this was a road vehicle, not a tank ship.

Apparently the military found a tank truck hidden by black marketeers and was handing out gasoline to local residents when...

"There was a rush of people, and arguments between some of them led to gunfire which hit the tank of gasoline and so it exploded," said a security source.
