DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania — A damaged tanker truck exploded in eastern Tanzania Saturday as people were trying to siphon fuel out of it, killing at least 57, police said.
Regional police commissioner Steven Kabwe told the local Azam TV that many other people suffered burns in the explosion in the town of Morogoro. Witnesses in the town, which lies about 120 miles from Tanzania’s economic hub of Dar es Salaam, told The Associated Press that scores of people had gathered around the fuel tanker after it was involved in an accident early Saturday. They said people were trying to siphon away fuel when the tanker burst into flames.
Incidents of people being killed in explosions while stealing fuel from incapacitated tankers are common in East Africa. In 2013, a similarly deadly incident killed at least 29 people on the outskirts of the Ugandan capital, Kampala, as scores swarmed around the scene of an accident.
CLIMATE change?

Danish capital hit by second blast in four days: policeAn explosion damaged a police station in Copenhagen early on Saturday, in the se... Don't wanna say this but until Denmark and Norway have tough laws ,chances are them going into drain are quite bright. Social tolerance, open borders and a generous welfare state will be Denmark's undoing. Strange none of the Nordic countries had such issues before they were culturally enriched. In the terrorists' eyes, tolerance is a sign of weakness. They are not willing to embrace the kindness and acceptance. They are going to attack you just because you don't believe what they believe.

El Paso suspect told police he was targeting Mexicans, affidavit saysThe man who authorities say killed 22 people at an El Paso Walmart last weekend told police that his targets were Mexicans, according to an arrest affidavit. Wonder what/who brought on this hate? Is that a surprise? Shouldn't be because Trump touted all the racist remarks he could about this place on the border which has been used both ways by all of us for shopping. Easy targets right? Yes this is Trump and his sick words causing this type of violence. He also told Cops that the democrat debate, in which candidates promised free healthcare to illegal immigrants, was his impetus. NOTHING Trump has said!
