Description

Sidon, Lebanon: Mushrooming cloud of smoke, resembling a tornado, covers sky and can be seen for miles around after a group of armed men attacked American-owned Tapline Oil Company crude oil storage tanks, setting them ablaze with explosives here early 4/14. The attack came only hours after Palestinian guerrillas called for liquidation of all American interests in the Arab world.
