A horrific explosion in Pakistan has killed 153 people including women and children.

Hundreds of residents of a village had gathered when an overturned oil tanker started leaking fuel.  They were gathering it up in cans when it exploded.  It’s believed a spark from all the cars and motor bikes that were rushing to the site ignited the fuel.  There’s also a report someone may have struck a match to light a cigarette.

A sentencing hearing will be held today for an “Angel of Death” in Ontario.

Family members of some of the victims of nurse Elizabeth Wettlaufer are expected to give victim impact statements.  She murdered eight patients in her care.  Both the crown and defence are recommending life sentences with no parole for 25 years on the eight counts to run concurrently so the 50 year old would never get out.  Wettlaufer said she believed she was acting as an instrument of God in a total of 14 cases.  Six people survived.
