Mexico's Pemex says explosions at several pipelines

Mexican state-owned energy company Pemex said on Monday explosions caused by sabotage hit several of its natural gas pipelines on the Gulf of Mexico.

The blasts in the state of Veracruz caused four fires which were now under control, the company said, adding there were no injuries.

A small leftist rebel group, the Popular Revolutionary Army, set off bombs at Pemex pipelines in July. It also claimed responsibility for a small bomb that went off at a Sears department story in the troubled city of Oaxaca last month.

In an apparently unrelated accident in Mexico, a dynamite truck exploded today, killing 37.
