                   73 Dead After Ghana Fuel Station Explosion

   by VOA News

   An explosion at a gas station in Ghana has killed at least 73 people
   who had gathered there for shelter during torrential rains.

   Ghanaian media reported the explosion Wednesday. Radio station Joy FM
   said the explosion and resulting fire took place at a gas station near
   the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in northern Accra.

   It reports the local military hospital has taken as many bodies as it
   can accommodate. The search for more victims continues.

   The radio station said President John Mahama is visiting the fuel
   station along with the mayor of Accra and a member of parliament.

   Accra, the capital city, has suffered two days of heavy rains that have
   flooded homes, caused power outages, and left some roads unpassable.
