Mexican authorities blamed an oil pipeline explosion that killed 28 on criminals who lost control of the fuel as they attempted to siphon it off.
Yesterday’s blast at the 30-inch Nuevo Teapa pipeline operated by state-owned company Petroleos Mexicanos in San Martin Texmelucan, Puebla state, also injured 52 people, the company, known as Pemex, said in a statement on its website. The explosion damaged 115 houses, Pemex said.
