 PANAMA CITY, Panama (AP) - Mechanical problems triggered a fire that raced through a bus in Panama's capital on Monday, killing at least 18 people, injuring 25 and sending passengers jumping from the flaming vehicle, police said.
Investigators using trained dogs found no evidence of explosives on the city bus and believed some form of fuel leak was to blame for the blaze. The bus lacked an emergency exit.
"We found absolutely no trace of the presence of explosives," said Jaime Jacome, director of Panama City's Technical Judicial Police. "There was a lot of gasoline."
