Nobody was injured when a tanker carrying 12,000 liters of petrol blew up at a pump in Tinkune in the capital Tuesday afternoon, witnesses said.

The accident happened as the tanker was unloading fuel. At least three parked motorcycles and telephone lines were damaged, eyewitnesses said. Frightened bystanders fled the accident site.
