Fire destroys parts of Tehran's Oil Refinery

SMCCDI (Information Service)
February 18, 2006

A fire of an unknown origin destroyed parts of the
Capital's Oil Refinery, on Saturday morning, despite the
existing security measures.

Officials are attributing the fire to a leak in one of the
master cylinders of the facility. But suspicion exists on
the sabotage of part of the installation due to the
increasing deterioration of the conditions in Iran.

Tens of fire trucks and hundreds of fire workers and
security forces' members rushed to the area in order to
block the accesses and to extinguish the fire.

The today's incident follows another strange one which
happened, on Thursday, due to the 'accident' of an oil
tanker on the "Karaj-Ghazvin" highway. It resulted in road
blocks and a heavy traffic jam following the intervention
of hundreds of security force's members and fire workers.

Official sources are confessing that a 'tragedy' was
avoided due to the rapid intervention of emergency forces
as the tanker was carrying thousands of liters of fuel.
