Guest guest Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 LUSAKA, Zambia (AP) -- A blast that ripped through a Chinese-owned explosives manufacturing plant at a copper mine killed at least 51 people and 26 others are missing and feared dead, authorities said Thursday. It was the second tragedy to hit Zambia in the space of two weeks. The southern African nation was plunged into mourning when a truck overloaded with schoolboys in the northern region of Luapula overturned, killing 45. http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/africa/04/21/zambia.blast.ap/index.html The explosion occurred on Wednesday morning in a workshop at the Chinese-owned plant which supplies explosives to local copper mines. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4466321.stm Dear List Members, Dasha is Ju/Ve/Su/Me/Sa.
