Oil tanker explosion in Argentina

Firefighters in Argentina say they've succeeded in controlling a big blaze onboard an oil tanker north of Buenos Aires.

Two Filipino crew members are feared dead in the fire, which followed a series of explosions late on Thursday.

About thirty other crewmen -- mostly Filipinos and Greeks -- were injured.

It's still not clear what caused the blasts.

The Bahamas-registered vessel, the Lance, had been on its way to Houston in the United States when the incident occurred.
