Dozens hurt in cafe gas blast in Span

Some 90 people were injured, five of them seriously, in a gas explosion at a cafe in the southern Spanish town of Velez, rescue services said yesterday. Saturday evening's blast sparked panic, coming as hordes of people celebrated a local festival, the Feria de San Miguel, in their small town of some 30,000 people just east of Malaga. Most of the injured suffered cuts from flying debris or bruising from falls as they fled in confusion.
