Chemical plant explosion rocks Massachusetts' town

BOSTON, Nov 22 (Reuters) A huge explosion at a chemical plant rocked a suburb about 32 km north of Boston early today, sparking a massive fire that damaged about 30 homes and injured 10 people, local media reported.

The explosion just before 3 am (1330 IST) at the privately held AI Inc in the town of Danvers was felt as far as 64 km away but none of the 10 people injured were in serious condition, Boston's CBS news affiliate said.

Live television showed black smoke billowing from the debris of CAI's flattened factory.
