More than 100 killed in South Sudan when oil lorry explodes

JUBA (Reuters) - More than 100 people were killed in South Sudan when an oil lorry exploded as a crowd tried to gather fuel from the vehicle after it had veered off the road, a regional official said on Thursday, a day after the incident.

In addition to those killed in Wednesday's blast, Charles Kisagna, the minister of information in Western Equatoria, said about 50 people were seriously injured.
