Updated: 2009-07-12 14:11 URUMQI: An oil tank blew up at a chemical plant in Urumqi, capital of northwest China's restive Xinjiang region, on Sunday, but local police and refinery officials ruled out a deliberate attack. "It is only a fire which was put out immediately," a refinery official said at the plant, about 35 km (21 miles) northeast of Urumqi.
"According to our initial investigation, there were no deaths or injuries and deliberate causation can be excluded." The refinery, belonging to Urumqi Chemical Co, a unit of China National Petroleum Co, parent of PetroChina, is operating normally. "It was a natural explosion," said an officer at the Urumqi police station. |
