Chlorine Gas Explosion Kills 13 and Injures Hundreds at Jordan Port
-------------------------------------------------------------------

In Jordan, at least 13 people were killed and more than 250 others
injured Monday after a cloud of toxic gas burst from a storage tank at
the Port of Aqaba. The disaster struck after a cable snapped as it
lifted a tank filled with 25 tons of toxic chlorine onto a ship.
