DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Syria's interior minister says an explosion near a bus parked at a gas station was an accident and three people were killed.

Said Mohammad Sammour ruled out a terrorist attack in a statement to state-run Syrian TV. He said the bus driver and two gas station workers were killed when a tire they were pumping air into exploded.

Syrian TV quoted Sammour as saying "there were no explosives involved" in Thursday's accident.
