Explosion on Syrian oil pipeline near restive city

A major Syrian pipeline carrying oil to a refinery in the restive Homs province was blown up on Thursday, activists and the state-run news agency said, as violence stemming from the country's 9-month-old uprising spirals out of control.        

No casualties were reported and it was not clear who was behind Thursday's explosion.         

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the pipeline was "bombed," while the state-run news agency SANA blamed terrorists.           

"An armed terrorist group on Thursday committed an act of sabotage," SANA said.         

A government official said the blast caused a fire that has been burning for four hours. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
