A container ship in Dubai has exploded into a huge fireball, sending tremors for 15 miles across the commercial hub of the United Arab Emirates. 'A fire caused by an explosion within a container on board a ship at Jebel Ali Port has been brought under control; no casualties have been reported,' the Dubai Media Office wrote. A resident of Dubai's Marina district, close to the Jebel Ali port, told AFP: 'I have been living here for 15 years and this is the first time I've seen and heard this.' The Jebel Ali Port at the northern end of Dubai is the largest man-made deep-water harbor in the world and serves cargo from the Indian subcontinent, Africa and Asia.
