International French minister says double plant blast was criminal act
France's interior minister says a double blast in two huge fuel tanks at a petrochemical plant in southern France is of criminal origin.
Bernard Cazeneuve told lawmakers on Wednesday that "the motive has not been established" to explain the explosions Tuesday at the plant near the Marseille Provence Airport.
The double blasts in two tanks 500 meters apart threw plumes of black smoke into the sky visible for miles. No one was injured.
