A fuel tank exploded in Moamer Kadhafi's hometown Sirte killing more than 100 people less than a week after the deposed despot was captured and killed there, a military commander said on Tuesday.

"There was an enormous explosion and a huge fire. More than 100 people were killed and 50 others wounded" in Monday night's blast, National Transitional Council commander Leith Mohammed told AFP.

He said the scene was "a heart wrenching spectacle with dozens of charred bodies."

The explosion happened as a crowd of people waited near the fuel tank to fill up their cars.

Start a fire for a man and he’ll be warm for the night. Set a man on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.

With accuracy in media being what it is, was this an accident or the beginning of of a new resistance or one tribe settling old grievances against another?

You are correct on that, it is the opening salvo of the resistance. I think it would be a perfect time for Barky to go visit there.
