More than 140 people were killed Sunday when an oil tanker in Pakistan caught on fire and exploded. The truck had overturned, and a group of people gathered to take some of the fuel that was being leaked. A witness told the BBC that the subsequent explosion was sparked by a cigarette. “One of the passers-by lit the lighter to start a cigarette and the untoward incident which was a minor [one]... turned into a major blast,” Jam Sajjad said. Nearby cars and motorcycles were also destroyed.
